DeepX Takes the Global Stage: "The Answer Is On-Device AI"

Kim Nokwon Invited as Official Speaker at World Economic Forum
Emphasizes Sustainable AI and Energy-Saving Solutions
"On-Device AI Is the Answer for Both Power Efficiency and Performance"

DeepX, an artificial intelligence (AI) semiconductor company, has announced its vision that AI technologies maximizing "power efficiency" must be rapidly adopted on the global stage. The company believes that true mass adoption of the AI industry is only possible if environmental sustainability is ensured, for example, by spreading energy-saving solutions.

On June 25, DeepX announced its official participation in the Summer World Economic Forum (WEF) held in Tianjin, China, from the 24th to the 26th. Last year, Kim Nokwon, CEO of DeepX, became the first AI semiconductor company leader to be invited to the Davos Forum, where he built networks with political and business leaders from around the world. Earlier this year, he also contributed an article to the World Economic Forum, emphasizing the need for energy-saving solutions and an energy credit system.

Kim Nokwon, CEO of DeepX, was invited as an official speaker at the World Economic Forum held in Tianjin, China, from the 24th to the 26th. He presented on global AI technology trends, DeepX's technological leadership, the energy credit system, and South Korea's deep tech ecosystem. DeepX

Through its participation in the forum, DeepX is highlighting that the early adoption of AI technologies maximizing power efficiency is key to driving the global "AI mass adoption." In particular, CEO Kim Nokwon delivered a presentation as an official speaker at this forum, addressing global AI technology trends, DeepX's technological leadership, the energy credit system, and South Korea's deep tech ecosystem. Kim stated, "AI semiconductors are not just a technological innovation; they are a core driver for restructuring global supply chains and achieving sustainable growth," emphasizing the social responsibility and role of technology.

In addition, during a video interview, Kim elaborated on his views. He pointed out that the AI industry accounts for significant power consumption worldwide, and if this trend continues, existing infrastructure and the climate environment may not be able to accommodate the advancement of AI.

The core message is that innovation to drastically reduce energy usage is essential. Kim explained, "AI data centers already use more electricity than entire countries such as Argentina or Sweden," and warned, "If this trend continues, the benefits of AI technology will not outweigh its costs."

He also presented DeepX's strategies and solutions to address these challenges. Kim said, "DeepX develops high-efficiency AI chips that can process AI tasks on-device without cloud servers," emphasizing, "This approach reduces energy consumption by more than 90% and has virtually no drawbacks."

DeepX will begin mass production of its chips next month. The company has already completed product development, in collaboration with global companies, for applications in home appliances, smart cameras, robots, and smart factories, and plans to launch these products in the second half of the year.

Going forward, DeepX plans to pursue strategic partnerships with global companies while accelerating the spread of energy-saving AI semiconductors. This vision is part of DeepX's philosophy of "AI for people and the planet," aiming to solve energy problems through ultra-low-power on-device AI technology.

Kim Nokwon, CEO of DeepX, emphasized, "AI must be accessible to more people and industries, but true mass adoption is impossible without considering environmental sustainability in the process." He added, "On-device AI will be the answer, as it minimizes power consumption and costs while maintaining computational performance."
