CEO Score Investigates 2,759 Papers Adopted by Top 3 Global Academic Societies
South Korea: Samsung 17th, Naver 18th
US Google and MS Lag Behind China's Huawei and Others
It has been revealed that the artificial intelligence (AI) competitiveness of domestic private companies such as Samsung and Naver significantly lags behind big tech companies like Google and Microsoft (MS).
On the 31st, CEO Score, a corporate data research institute, announced that as of the 12th, an investigation of 2,759 papers from 338 private companies adopted by the world's top three AI conferences showed that Samsung and Naver ranked in the late top 10 range. The three major conferences are the International Conference on Learning Representations (ICLR), Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS), and the International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML).
By company, Google ranked first with 541 papers (19.6%). American companies dominated the top five with MS (267 papers), Meta (211 papers), Amazon (156 papers), and IBM (118 papers). Chinese companies such as Huawei (114 papers), Tencent (86 papers), and Alibaba (63 papers) ranked 6th to 8th.
The number of papers adopted by Korean companies was 106, which was 19.6% of Google's count. Samsung had 32 papers (17th place), and Naver had 28 papers (18th place). The number of Naver AI papers adopted was 5.2% of Google's.
Among the large language models (LLMs) used in generative AI like ChatGPT, Naver was evaluated to have some competitiveness. Based on the number of parameters, Naver's large-scale AI 'HyperClover' ranked 7th in the world. Among LLMs with training costs under one million dollars, its performance efficiency was rated the highest globally, indicating good 'cost-effectiveness.'
CEO Score stated, "Papers adopted by the three major conferences are a global benchmark for AI technology competitiveness," adding, "This means that domestic private companies have a significant gap in competitiveness compared to big tech."
By country, American and Chinese companies shared the 'top 10.' The U.S. had 140 companies (41.4%), China had 59 companies (17.5%), accounting for 58.9% of the total. Korea ranked 6th with 15 companies (4.4%).
The number of citations of academic papers by domestic companies was highest for Samsung (102), followed by AItrics (65), Naver (56), LG (26), Krafton (20), and Kakao (12). The number of AI-related patent registrations was highest for Samsung Electronics (217).
