Jungwoo Ha Naver Cloud AI Innovation Center Director and Naver Future AI Center Director
The head of the Jungwoo Ha Future AI Center announced his position on SNS. HAI AI Index Raises Controversy in AI Industry "There are a lot of citations for thesis". Rebuttal. I need a stronger nurturing plan than now.
Jungwoo Ha, head of Naver Cloud AI Innovation Center and head of Naver Future AI Center, did not hide his displeasure with the announcement by Stanford University's Human-Centered AI Research Institute (HAI) that "there is no AI foundation model (basic model) in Korea" through the "AI Index 2024" report.
On the 17th, Ha, the head of the center, wrote on SNS, "We are fighting on the front line of the battlefield without gunfire," adding, "Still, it is our Naver Cloud's job to overcome this and move forward."
Earlier, the Human-Centered AI Research Institute (HAI) at Stanford University in the United States pointed out in a report titled "AI Index 2024" that "there is no AI foundation model in Korea." However, he added through the commentary, "Korean and Chinese AI models may be omitted."
In response, Ha, the head of the center, said, "Unlike 2023, the 2024 report used the contents of papers written by HAI Group," adding, "Many major foundation models around the world were omitted from this paper, and in the case of Hyperclova, there are nearly 100 citations, dozens of directly related papers, and APIs, but they were omitted from this paper." "We only need to look at China as 20 (AI powerhouse)," he said.
"It would have been better if the report had been published in more detail, whether the survey's aggregation using poor papers was a credible report, or whether the country should be shaken (from the morning) in the report of overseas universities," said Ha, head of the center.
Ha added, "As AI sovereignty is really important, companies should also invest more strongly to secure more competitive AI and raise global awareness." In particular, he said, "We need papers, academic societies, open sources, and commercialization, and the government also needs much stronger support for fostering measures than regulations."
The Ministry of Science and ICT also refuted the report, saying it is different from the facts. In the meantime, he introduced a number of independent models such as Naver's HyperClova X, LG AI Research's Examiner 2.0, and Samsung Electronics' Gauss.
