NC AI Presents Proprietary AI Research Achievements at International Academic Conference

Provided by NC AI. NC AI is set to showcase its proprietary foundation model research achievements on the international academic stage. NC AI announced on the 18th that it presented the results of its 'Proprietary AI Foundation Model' project, which aims to develop an industry-specific AI operations platform, at the Workshop on Information Technologies and Systems (WITS) 2025, a global academic workshop in the field of information systems.
Since its inception in 1991, WITS has been a leading international academic event in the field of management information systems (IS), pioneering research in technology and systems. The conference is particularly recognized for analyzing the impact of cutting-edge information technologies—such as artificial intelligence, data science, and machine learning—on real-world industries and business environments, as well as for discussing algorithm development and system design in the field of technology management.
The paper to be presented by NC AI, titled 'DomainOps: A Hybrid AI Governance Framework for Industry-Specific AI Transformation,' is an ongoing study proposing a DomainOps-based AI governance framework for industry-specific AI transformation. The paper was accepted through academic peer review, validating the necessity and feasibility of the research proposal.
DomainOps presents a modular business framework that combines the principles of data space sovereignty protection with sustainable monetization models for commercial AI platforms. This allows for flexible application of governance, settlement, and incentive structures tailored to the needs of various industries, including manufacturing and the public sector.
This approach can also be linked to Sovereign AI strategies. Sovereign AI refers to the strategic concept where nations or organizations autonomously control their AI data and technology, minimizing external dependencies.
DomainOps supports these objectives and can be designed to ensure data sovereignty, regulatory compliance, and the safety and accountability of AI. This research is a key pillar in NC AI’s efforts to build industry-specific models as part of the 'Proprietary AI Foundation Model' project led by the Ministry of Science and ICT (MSIT).
The goal is to break away from technological dependence and secure South Korea’s competitive edge in sovereign AI. Alongside developing foundation models, NC AI is pursuing a DomainOps platform strategy to establish an industry-specific AI hub.
The DomainOps platform serves as a bridge between AI models and industrial sites, enabling companies in various sectors to more easily fine-tune foundation models to suit their unique environments and business needs. NC AI researchers are scheduled to present their paper during the 'Intelligence Systems' session on the 19th (local time), which focuses on intelligent systems with structural governance.
The DomainOps framework developed by NC AI is expected to evolve into an industrial AI governance diagnostic model capable of assessing AI readiness and risks in the field, depending on future project developments. NC AI aims to advance the DomainOps framework into an international reference model through ongoing discussions on industry standardization.
Yeonsu Lee, CEO of NC AI, stated, “This presentation at WITS 2025 is a significant opportunity to present a strategic roadmap for Korea’s sovereign AI era on the global stage, going beyond academic achievement. DomainOps will serve as the foundation for AI innovation across various industries—including manufacturing, distribution, and defense—enabling Korea’s leading companies to become global leaders.
