LG Uplus announced on the 31st that it will launch the 'AI Universe' in collaboration with domestic and international AI partners and organizations to enhance the accessibility of artificial intelligence (AI) for the public. The strategy aims to aggregate the AI capabilities of each company to create synergy and to lead the rapidly growing domestic AI market by increasing the public's understanding of AI.
LG Uplus signed a business agreement for the launch of the AI Universe with 10 AI partners from the Gwaseulyeon AI Future Forum and Yudokpick AI on the 29th at the multi-cultural space Ilsangbiilsangui Thum in Gangnam, Seoul. The partners included Liner, Canva Korea, Pelo, Mobledi, Turing, Dong-A Science, Artificial Society, Flang, Comentor, and KineMaster.
The AI Universe is a collaboration that will conduct online and offline campaigns and experiential programs to allow everyone to easily access AI. LG Uplus will support content planning and production based on its AI technology and services, particularly focusing on improving service accessibility centered around the 'Yudokpick AI,' the country's first subscription-based AI service launched last month.
Yudokpick AI is a subscription product that allows customers to choose the AI services they want and receive discounts, with the option to change services monthly, having secured about 20,000 subscribers within a month of its launch. The most frequently chosen services were 'Liner' with high search accuracy and the graphic and content design support service 'Canva.'
The Gwaseulyeon AI Future Forum will utilize AI expertise and networks to provide experiential programs such as talk concerts and lectures, while the partners will promote joint campaigns using each company's AI services and technologies. The goal is to introduce various AI services that can be used in daily life, thereby increasing familiarity and trust among the public.
Jeong Hye-yun, head of the marketing group at LG Uplus, said, 'We have partnered with various institutions and corporations so that everyone can easily and closely experience AI in line with the growth of the domestic AI market.' She added, 'We will continue to expand the AI Universe and spread AI services into the lives of the public.'
