Amorepacific has established a data system that integrates over 70 years of research and development materials, including raw materials, formulations, and patents, for use by generative artificial intelligence (AI).
On July 28, Amorepacific announced the development of its research-focused generative AI service, 'AI Assistant LEMON,' through a collaborative 'Data Highway' project with KT.
Since establishing the first cosmetics research lab in South Korea in 1954, Amorepacific has accumulated millions of structured and unstructured research assets, including raw material information, formulation data, research reports, patents, and academic papers.
Previously, this data was scattered across individual systems, making it time-consuming to locate and utilize necessary information.
To address this, Amorepacific, in partnership with KT, has built an 'AI Data Hub' based on 'AI Ready Data' that allows AI to learn and utilize information instantly.
The resulting research-focused large language model (LLM) service, 'LEMON,' assists researchers in quickly and accurately exploring and analyzing the entire process from research and development to production, quality control, and global regulatory compliance.
In beta testing conducted with researchers at Amorepacific's R&I Center, the time required for essential research materials and regulatory reviews during the product planning phase was significantly reduced from approximately 12 days to just 5 minutes. Similarly, the analysis of past research history and product applicability for specific raw materials was cut down from 6 days to 5 minutes.
Amorepacific plans to enhance LEMON by adding AI agent capabilities, evolving it into a system that not only assists with data searches but also supports research projects. The goal is for AI to handle repetitive information searches and data organization, allowing researchers to focus on formulating new hypotheses and developing product technologies.
This platform development is part of Amorepacific's long-term strategy, 'AI First.' The company has been expanding its AI applications across research and customer service, including the launch of the Amore Mall app in March, which allows users to search and compare products within the ChatGPT environment.
Seobyeong-hwi, Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of Amorepacific's R&I Center, stated, "Good AI becomes a research partner only when it encounters good data. In the future, the AI platform will handle repetitive searches and analyses, allowing researchers to concentrate on creative questions and innovation."
