Beyond Korea, Becoming the Global Heart of AI Intelligence

The National AI Research Lab (NAIRL) is an open innovation platform that connects minds worldwide to solve humanity’s greatest challenges. Through groundbreaking research and global collaboration, we are building a trusted AI ecosystem to push the boundaries of technology and design a better future for all

Research Network

Top researchers from leading Korean universities—KAIST, Yonsei, Korea University, and POSTECH—and international institutions spanning the US, Canada, France, and the UAE.

Industry Partnership

The initial collaboration includes a mix of major corporations and innovative startups, such as Naver Cloud, POSCO Holdings, LG Electronics, LG Energy Solution, HD Hyundai, Ineeji, 42Maru, Vessel AI, Pleiony, Corca, Daedong AI Lab, and EverEx.

National Support

Supported by the Ministry of Science and ICT, IITP, Seoul Metropolitan Government, and Seocho District Office.

Our Research Focus

Neural Scaling Laws

The Lab aims for novel model architectures and training algorithms to go beyond the limits of machine learning scaling laws. This research is dedicated to achieving efficient and practical AI by overcoming the high costs and environmental challenges associated with scaling large models.

Robotic Foundation Models

The Lab drives a paradigm shift toward embodied intelligence by developing Robotic Foundation Models. By integrating vision, language, and multi-modal sensory data, these models empower robots to navigate unpredictable environments and perform contextual reasoning, all while ensuring the highest standards of safety and system trustworthiness.

High-dimensional Generative Foundation Models

The Lab develops generative models for complex data types, including video, time-series, and molecular structures. Emphasis is placed on "Reliable AI," ensuring that generated content adheres to physical or biological laws rather than mere statistical correlations.1
