DeepBrain AI CEO Se-young Jang recently met with a visiting delegation from the Estonian Ministry of Economy, Information, and Communication to discuss ways to apply artificial intelligence (AI) human in local public services.

This discussion took place when a visiting delegation from the Estonian Ministry of Economy, Information and Communication—who came to Korea to attend the 3rd Democracy Summit held in Seoul—visited Deep Brain AI headquarters in Gangnam-gu, Seoul. This visit was made possible after the Estonian Minister of Economy, Information, and Communication’s office directly requested a meeting with Deep Brain AI from the local business office.

The Estonian Ministry of Economy, Information and Communication is seeking to improve the competitiveness of public services by introducing a virtual assistant using AI technology at its affiliated organization, the Information Systems Agency of Estonia (RIA). In keeping with the trends of the times, the plan is to use AI technology to build a system where the country and citizens can communicate freely.

As part of this, the Estonian visiting delegation—including Estonian Minister of Economy, Information, and Communication Tit Lysalo and Estonian Ambassador to Korea Sten Schwede—held detailed discussions on AI human technologies applicable to RIA, including the introduction of virtual assistants.

DeepBrain AI introduced the company and demonstrated AI human technology and various services using it and the visiting delegation from the Estonian Ministry of Economy, Information, and Communication showed particular interest in deep learning-based virtual human implementation technology. In addition, various ways of cooperation were discussed, including availability of Estonian language, operational solutions, and service advancement.

“We plan to hold additional detailed working-level discussions with Estonia as soon as possible to ensure that virtual humans can be successfully introduced,” concluded Jang Se-young. “This will set a precedent for strengthening communication between state agencies and citizens using virtual humans.”
