<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
SK Telecom (NYSE: SKM) announced today that the company is joining the MIT GenAI Impact Consortium as a founding member to explore commercialization and industry implications of generative AI technologies with MIT faculty and leading global companies.<\/p>\n
MIT GenAI Impact Consortium is an industry-academia collaboration to explore the impact of generative AI technologies on society and industry, with the goal of providing practical direction to the AI industry. MIT has been paying close attention to AI-enabled industrial transformation, with faculty members publishing 25 papers on the topic of generative AI in the past year.<\/p>\n
As a strategic priority of Sally Kornbluth, President of MIT, the consortium is led by Anantha Chandrakasan, Dean of the MIT School of Engineering and MIT\u2019s Chief Innovation and Strategy Officer, along with faculty leaders who play a central role in selecting optimized projects, identifying research teams, and managing research efforts.<\/p>\n
The founding members of this consortium include six global companies: SK Telecom, OpenAI, The Coca-Cola Company, Tata Group, Analog Devices and TWG Global.<\/p>\n
The MIT consortium plans to select key projects and commence full-scale research this year.<\/p>\n
By participating in this consortium, SK Telecom plans to share its competitiveness and development strategy with the founding member companies and explore potential collaboration opportunities. Also, SK Telecom hopes to deliver tangible results created with MIT to its SK AI R&D Center, in areas such as ICT, semiconductors and energy. Acting as SK Group\u2019s AI technology control tower, SK AI R&D Center closely supports business operations in AI-based technology areas \u2014 including AI modeling, vision AI, digital twins and AI factories.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe MIT GenAI Impact Consortium is the ideal bridge between academia and industry,\u201d said Chandrakasan. \u201cWhile Generative AI and LLMs are reshaping everything, the consortium aims to break down barriers, bring together disciplines, and commit to ensuring the benefits of Generative AI are realized throughout the world.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAs a founding member of the MIT Consortium, we are excited to collaborate with MIT\u2019s world-class faculty,\u201d said Ryu Young-sang, CEO of SK Telecom. \u201cBuilding on global collaborations, SK Telecom hope to leverage the AI capabilities of the SK Group, with the SK AI R&D Center at its core, to drive AI innovation across industries. Beyond generative AI, we will broaden our scope to encompass next-generation research areas and to convergent Vertical AI such as physical AI, manufacturing, and biotechnology.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
