Korean Aerospace Industries To Develop Domestic AI Semiconductors
Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) has been selected to lead a government-backed defense project aimed at developing on-device artificial intelligence (AI) semiconductors and validating their performance on unmanned aerial vehicles. The 95.3 billion-won project, which will run for five years, seeks to develop a defense-grade system-on-chip and an autonomous control system incorporating the chip. KAI plans to incorporate the AI chip developed through the project into its proprietary AI pilot system, known as K-AILOT. The project was first reported by The Elec Inc.
