AI Training with Publishing Content... Flitto Inc. Partners with Korean Publishers Association on Data Supply

[Financial News] Flitto Inc., a company specializing in artificial intelligence (AI) data, is moving to establish a data supply system for using copyrighted publishing works in AI training. Its plan is to process and supply publishing content as data for AI training, subject to the consent of copyright holders, thereby protecting copyrights while also securing data for the AI industry.
According to industry sources on the 9th, Flitto Inc. signed a technology cooperation memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Korean Publishers Association to “supply high-quality publishing knowledge data from copyrighted works for national AI use and establish a market.”
The agreement was pursued to establish a stable supply base for knowledge data used in AI training by combining the association’s capacity to supply publishing data with Flitto Inc.’s data cleaning and processing technology.
The two sides will pursue technical exchanges on cleaning, processing, structuring and verifying the quality of publishing data; establish a supply system for AI training data; identify potential users of the data and promote transactions; and jointly participate in AI data projects run by the government and public institutions.
Flitto Inc. will provide technology to process publishing data into a form suitable for AI training and verify its quality. It will also provide computing infrastructure and a secure environment for safe data processing. The association will coordinate with publishers and serve as a point of contact for data supply, while independently operating the data collection and management system.
In particular, data supply and the signing of individual contracts will be subject to the consent of the copyright holders and publishing rights holders for the works in question. The plan is to establish a basis for transactions that will allow AI companies to legally obtain the high-quality training data they need while protecting the rights to published works.
The two sides plan to identify potential users of publishing data and create a rights-holder-centered data market. The specific scope of business, implementation procedures and compensation for data supply will be determined through individual project contracts.
Flitto Inc. CEO Simon Lee said, “Drawing on Flitto Inc.’s data expertise, we will contribute to establishing national AI data infrastructure that enables copyright holders and the AI industry to grow together.”
