Pluto Provides AI Translation and Interpretation Solutions for the APEC Senior Officials' Meeting

Plitto (CEO Lee Jeong-su) , a company specializing in artificial intelligence (AI)-based language data and interpretation and translation solutions, announced on the 11th that it provided its AI interpretation and translation solutions throughout the first, second, and third Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Senior Officials' Meetings (SOM) held this year.

The APEC Senior Officials' Meeting (SOM) is a multilateral cooperation platform where high-ranking officials from 21 member countries participate to discuss economic cooperation and policy measures. Pluto has participated in successive SOMs, including SOM1 held in Gyeongju in January, SOM2 held in Jeju in April, and SOM3 held recently in Incheon, providing a variety of interpretation and translation services.

At SOM3, "Chat Translation Enterprise" was implemented at the main information desk at the Songdo Convensia event venue, the dedicated APEC spaces in Incheon International Airport Terminals 1 and 2, and six hotels serving as key event accommodations, including the Sheraton, Oakwood, and Gyeongwonjae. The same solution, along with "Live Translation," featuring multi-user simultaneous interpretation capabilities, was also implemented at SOM1 and SOM2.

Pluto's AI interpretation and translation solution supports up to 38 languages, and is recognized for supporting smooth communication among participants at multinational events by encompassing not only high-resource languages but also low-resource languages with relatively limited interpretation resources.

Through this series of conferences, Pluto has demonstrated its AI translation and interpretation technology and on-site response capabilities at international events. According to the company, this has led to a surge in inquiries from public institutions and various domestic and international event organizers regarding collaboration.

“The official introduction of Pluto’s AI-based interpretation and translation solution at this APEC Senior Officials’ Meeting is a meaningful achievement that has verified both our technological prowess and reliability,” said Lee Jeong-su, CEO of Pluto. “As an AI partner that supports global communication beyond language barriers, we will continue to advance our technology.”
