The industry-specialized artificial intelligence (AI) corporation MakinaRocks announced on the 14th that its CEO, Seong-ho Yoon, delivered a lecture titled 'Specialized Artificial Intelligence: Redefining Future Industries' on the 10th at the invitation of the Naval Fleet Command.
Yoon emphasized that the limitations of general-purpose AI are evident in specialized environments, such as manufacturing and defense, where security is strict and data access is difficult. He shared examples of AI agent applications in real industrial sites, such as automobiles, semiconductors, and plants, and introduced ways to expand these applications into the defense sector.
Yoon noted, 'The introduction of AI in defense faces several challenges, including data security, closed network environments, data shortages, and lengthy acquisition processes averaging 14.1 years. Similar to the manufacturing industry, the defense sector also requires high accuracy that does not allow for small errors, and combining domain knowledge that is not disclosed externally makes the difficulty of applying AI extremely high.'
He further stated, 'MakinaRocks expects that we will effectively expand our AI platform and technologies into the defense environment based on our technological capabilities and practical experiences accumulated in specialized industrial sites.'
MakinaRocks supplies its AI platform 'Runway' to various industrial sites, including defense, public sector, semiconductors, automotive, and finance, that require closed networks and the highest level of security. Runway supports the entire process, including data integration, multi-model management, and AI model deployment and operation (MLOps).
