AI tech company Crowdworks announced on the 31st that it signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Korea Industrial Intelligence Association (KOIIA) to establish an AI agent evaluation and certification system specialized for the manufacturing industry.
Through this agreement, the two organizations will pursue various collaborative activities to secure AI technology reliability and foster an AI ecosystem in the manufacturing industry. These activities include joint planning and operation of a manufacturing-specific AI agent evaluation infrastructure; building and verifying a standard dataset based on real environments; conducting quantitative evaluations of reliability, performance, and fairness; and establishing an evaluation and certification system and data standards. Crowdworks plans to utilize its proprietary AI evaluation solution, "Alpy Evaluation."
This agreement aims to accelerate the adoption of AI technology to strengthen the competitiveness of the manufacturing industry, while also establishing an objective and reliable, industry-tailored evaluation and certification system that reflects the complexity and uniqueness of the manufacturing environment. Existing general-purpose AI evaluation methods have reportedly failed to adequately reflect the unique characteristics of the manufacturing environment, limiting their ability to verify performance in real-world applications.
Accordingly, the two organizations plan to increase the reliability of AI technology and support the expansion of AI adoption across industries through quantitative evaluation criteria and a real-world verification system tailored to the characteristics of the manufacturing industry.
This agreement is particularly aligned with the government's policy direction, including its AI Factory initiative. The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy plans to expand AI-based manufacturing sites to over 100 by 2030 and develop an AI foundation model for general-purpose manufacturing. Through collaboration with this government initiative, both organizations expect to contribute to establishing a foundation for AI performance evaluation and certification within the domestic manufacturing industry.
Crowdworks CEO Wooseung Kim said, “AI performance verification requires not only model accuracy but also evaluation items specific to the industrial field,” adding, “By combining the expertise and industry insights of both organizations, we will present a new standard for AI evaluation specialized in the manufacturing industry.”
