SKAI (Sky Worldwide), an artificial intelligence agent and database solutions company, will jointly develop next-generation AI technology with Sungkyunkwan University's AI Convergence College of Social Sciences (AICOSS).

SKAI signed a strategic business agreement to this effect, the company said Thursday. The partnership aims to implement intelligent decision-making AI that can autonomously judge and execute tasks, while securing technological competitiveness.

SKAI will provide agentic AI algorithms, execution frameworks, and graph ontology-based knowledge data modeling technology. Sungkyunkwan University's AICOSS will lead technology advancement by combining its AI research capabilities, academic-based algorithm development expertise, and specialized research personnel. Based on this collaboration, the two parties plan to jointly develop an AI-based decision-making automation system, data relationship analysis tools, and an intelligent recommendation engine.

The partners will also participate together in national projects and government-supported initiatives, and operate AI seminars, workshops, and technology exchange programs.

"This agreement will serve as a turning point as AI evolves beyond simple analysis into a decision-making entity capable of autonomous judgment and execution," said Shin Jae-hyuk, CEO of SKAI. "We will lead AI intelligence across industries through next-generation AI infrastructure that combines graph ontology and agentic AI."
