To Standardize Development Process of AI Services
SK Telecom announced on Dec. 12 that ITU-T Study Group 11 (SG11) has approved the company's proposal for the structure and linkage method of an AI full stack as a new standardization project.
SG11 is responsible for producing international standards (ITU-T Recommendations) that define how telephone calls and other calls (such as data calls) are handled in the network.
SK Telecom proposed an AI full stack that consists of four modules -- AI processors, AI databases, AI modeling, AI applications and APIs. -- and a blueprint to interconnect them.
SK Telecom will work with the members of SG11 to standardize the architecture for optimizing the integrated package, the signaling method, and the data types for interconnection.
The company said its proposal marks the first attempt to standardize the whole package of elements required to commercialize AI services.
SK Telecom has been studying the entire process of AI services, including Sapion, an AI semiconductor; Meta Runner, an AI modeling tool; Lightning DB and Meta Vision, AI computing data storage and management systems; and AI Camera, an AI service.
When a global standard is created regarding the AI service development process, it will allow telecom operators to configure AI services using modules developed by different companies.
