NCsoft's NCAI Secures Spot in Australia's Groundbreaking AI Foundation Model Project
A Major Win for Australian AI: NCsoft's NCAI Chosen for National Project
In a significant development for Australia's burgeoning artificial intelligence sector, NC AI (NCAI), the AI arm of global gaming giant NCsoft, has been selected as one of just five consortiums to participate in the nation's ambitious 'Independent AI Foundation Model' project. This prestigious selection validates NC AI's 14 years of dedicated research and development in the field of AI, marking a pivotal moment for the company and the broader Australian tech landscape.
What is the 'Independent AI Foundation Model' Project?
The Australian government launched this initiative with a clear objective: to bolster national AI sovereignty and enhance industrial competitiveness. Recognising the strategic importance of AI, the project aims to cultivate locally developed AI foundation models—powerful, adaptable AI systems that can be applied across diverse industries. Securing these models reduces reliance on foreign technology and fosters innovation within Australia.
Why NCAI’s Selection Matters

The company's long-standing commitment to AI research, spanning 14 years, has positioned it as a leader in the field. NCsoft’s global presence and resources further strengthen NCAI's ability to contribute meaningfully to the project.
Impact on Australia’s AI Future
This project represents a crucial step towards building a robust and independent Australian AI ecosystem. By investing in local AI development, the government aims to:
- Reduce Reliance on Foreign AI: Strengthening national security and economic resilience.
- Drive Innovation: Creating new opportunities for businesses and researchers.
- Boost Industrial Competitiveness: Empowering Australian industries with advanced AI tools.
What's Next for NCAI?
NCAI will now work collaboratively with other consortium members and government agencies to develop and refine its AI foundation model. The project is expected to generate substantial advancements in AI technology and have a wide-ranging impact on various sectors, including healthcare, finance, and manufacturing. Keep an eye on NC AI – they're poised to play a key role in shaping Australia’s AI future.
This selection underscores NCsoft's commitment to investing in groundbreaking technologies and contributing to the global AI landscape. The 'Independent AI Foundation Model' project is a major win for both NCAI and Australia, paving the way for a more innovative and self-reliant future.
