Low code AI specialist Blaize and Korea Telecom are working together to boost AIoT development for autonomous driving, robotics, and mobility AI vision surveillance management. The two companies aim to support AI development and education for automotive and mobility on-device technology in Korea. The two companies have signed an MOU to bolster their relationship and foster a more robust channel for exchanging views on AIoT edge device manufacturing requirements.

KT plans to expand the development of on-device AI products at the terminal end that can minimise data usage and implement various functions to strengthen the AIoT (Artificial Intelligence of Things) service business that combines AI and IoT technology. For this, Blaize’s software and small form factor, low power, and high-speed data processing hardware will deliver an end-to-end AI edge workflow to help KT expand its AIoT efforts.

Through collaboration with development hardware partners like Blaize, KT plans to commercialise specialised terminals and services, such as intelligent IoT routing equipment, micro-mobility services incorporating AIoT technology, and AIoT autonomous driving logistics transport devices for use in distribution, logistics, and smart factories.

“Our expanded collaboration with KT in AIoT edge business advances our shared understanding of technical development in some of the key Blaize markets — automotive, mobility, and smart vision,” said Dinakar Munagala, CEO and Co-founder of Blaize. “We look forward to further extending Blaize hardware and software solutions, serving the 5G+, MEC, and cloud-based AIoT markets.”
