The future of real-time AI subtitles presented at SK AI Summit 2024

At SK AI Summit 2024, held at COEX in Seoul from November 4 to 5, 2024, XL8's AI interpretation solution EventCAT provided real-time AI subtitling services for the entire session. EventCAT supports more than 40 languages, and the event provided live captions in two languages, Korean and English, to suit the audience. In particular, SK AI Summit 2024 created an environment where audiences from around the world could easily participate by providing real-time subtitles on large screens in offline venues and synchronizing online streaming.

SK AI Summit is the largest AI event of the year hosted by SK Group and is an important platform for discussing the impact and potential of AI technology across industries. SK Group is a global leader in advanced technology, including AI, and showcased innovative insights and technologies at this event. Global leaders in the AI field participated in the event, including SK Group Chairman Choi Taewon, OpenAI Co-Founder Greg Brockman, Microsoft Vice President Rani Borkar, Kai-Fu Lee, Chairman of Sinovation Ventures, Mark Adams, CEO of Penguin Solutions, and Stephen Balaban, CEO of Lambda. Approximately 30,000 participants met on-site and online to discuss the future of AI innovation.

EventCAT was very well received, providing real-time interpretation subtitles according to the user's customized environment at large-scale events where multiple sessions were held simultaneously at different locations. This year's SK AI Summit was held in a format where different sessions were conducted simultaneously across all floors of COEX, from floors 1 to 3. Without having to set up simultaneous interpretation booths or interpreters in every conference room, we were able to provide real-time interpretation subtitles for all sessions by simply connecting a laptop using EventCAT to the speaker's microphone voice. Specifically, only two things were needed to provide live captions: a laptop to use EventCAT and a stable internet connection.

Active panel discussions among global AI experts continued at SK AI Summit, and EventCAT's simultaneous interpretation subtitles played an important role in raising the quality of discussions to the next level. Global speakers and participants were able to easily understand the content of the sessions through real-time interpretation subtitles translated by EventCAT, and they were able to immerse themselves in more in-depth discussions based on this. EventCAT broke down language barriers, broadened collaboration, and created an inclusive environment.

EventCAT is redefining the standard for multilingual communication at various global events such as conferences and seminars. EventCAT, which can easily immerse a global audience with real-time translation, support for over 40 languages, and simple settings, has become an essential solution for successfully hosting global events, eliminating language barriers at government and international events not only in the AI and tech fields, but also in various fields such as bio, healthcare, and climate change.
