KOLON Benit announced on the 16th that it participated as a cooperating corporation in the 'EXAONE Partners Day' hosted by LG AI Research Institute and unveiled its self-developed artificial intelligence (AI) safety monitoring system 'AI Vision Intelligence.'
'AI Vision Intelligence' is a multimodal-based Korean Sovereign AI package that applies the neural processing unit (NPU) of the domestic AI semiconductor corporation Rebellions and the large language model 'EXAONE' from LG AI Research Institute. KOLON Benit implemented real-time AI safety monitoring focused on construction sites through this technology verification and showcased an advanced language explanation function and precise hazard detection technology.
This system has improved real-time inference performance by utilizing both GPU and NPU. In particular, EXAONE plays a role in explaining detected dangerous situations in specific language, contributing to the implementation of a high-understanding AI-based safety monitoring environment. Five companies, including KOLON Benit, LG AI Research Institute, Rebellions, WISH, and KOLON GLOBAL participated in the verification.
'AI Vision Intelligence' is currently applied at KOLON GLOBAL construction sites, detecting various hazards in real-time, such as safety helmet non-wear, entering danger zones, and heavy equipment access, thereby increasing accident prevention effectiveness. KOLON Benit plans to enhance the system in the future and expand its functions by applying next-generation EXAONE technology.
Lee Seung-jae, head of the AI R&D team at KOLON Benit, said, 'KOLON Benit has been building an AI ecosystem based on its technology in line with the government’s 'Korean AI Nurturing Strategy,' and we will continue to expand AI new businesses that provide practical value in industrial sites.'
