The 13th AI & Big Data Show, one of the biggest artificial intelligence-related conventions in South Korea, was held from 19 to 21 June at COEX, Seoul, South Korea, held by the Artificial Intelligence Industry Association, AI Times and EXPORUM.

This year’s convention hosted five subsidiary events: Secu-Tech Show, Robot Tech Show, Smart Tech Show, Retail & Logis Tech Show, and CoMPEX Korea. According to the show’s brochure, about 400 companies across 30 countries participated to introduce their services and products, and approximately 50,000 visitors came.

With this year’s focus being AI-powered, big data-driven solutions and cloud services, let’s look at companies that caught people’s attention with their cutting-edge technologies of such themes.

Live Translation

Flitto, an AI language data company located in Gangnam, Seoul, showcased its smart live translation tools at the show.

The AI-operated live interpretation and translation tools developed by Flitto are backed by its in-house engine that combines speech-to-text and text-to-speech software. What’s interesting about this engine is that it can improve its performance over time, providing smarter responses if it gains more chat data through interactions with users.

Flitto brought two translation tools targeting two different audiences to the event: Chat Translation and Live Translation.

Chat Translation translates multiple languages in a more private, one-on-one communication, currently dispatched at medical as well as tourist services, like the Seoul Visitor Center and the Seoul Tourism Plaza, greeting users in the form of Haechi, the city’s cartoon mascot. Live translation, on the other hand, offers real-time translation to a bigger audience, like international conferences. According to Flitto, it was recently used at meetings like the Asian Coast Guard Agencies Meeting and the Japan Energy Summit.

AI Tools to Make Save Your Hassle at Work

42Maru presented a large language model for website domains at the convention.

The company says that its LLM can be customised for diverse industry-specific objectives, performing various tasks related to natural language operation, such as writing drafts, making questions, summarising documents, and categorising files. Users can automate some of their complex works through 42Maru’s LLM tool, the company adds.

The company also demonstrated its generative AI service DocuAgent42, using LLM, RAG and MRC technologies. This service can analyse and summarise necessary information from a range of documents and web files delivered via its built-in chatbot agent interface.

Bizmatrixx caught people’s eyes by showing the company-customer interaction platform BzEngage and task management software BzWorks.

BzEngage offers customised templates for public and personalised marketing campaigns, including promotional messages and website emails. What makes BzEngage special compared to its competitors is its ability to understand the behaviour of website visitors and help them based on trained data.

On the other hand, BzWorks’s focus is improving internal communication at work. It is a management tool for work division and task progress tracking, serving as an automated, cross-channel platform.

AI-Protected Security System

Security solutions operated by AI were also some of the popular ideas exhibited at the convention. IntelliVIX was one of such companies that carried smart security devices there. The company imagined a future of security through a wide range of products, including its flagship AI Monitoring System (AMS), AI camera, and AI door lock.

IntelliVIX-built AMS is a monitoring system in which AI can alarm potential risks through CCTVs, such as fire, burglary, or traffic accidents. Unlike other security systems where humans must monitor the cameras 24/7, AMS has AI in charge of overseeing danger through its system. It can also automatically analyse factors that can endanger people, accumulating the data and predicting future risks. Moreover, AMS can be connected to GIS to guide authorities to places of occurrence.

The company’s AI camera can perform video analysis without an external connection to the internet, allowing users to monitor public safety at a lower cost. The AI door lock works as a smart entrance system, restricting people with no authority from entering a specific, guarded area. It uses bio identification, such as face or fingerprints, to check visitors’ identities. The system can also recognise gestures as security keys, like lifting a hand.
