“This partnership with LG CNS empowers our video understanding AI to create real value across critical industries,” said Jae Lee, CEO of TwelveLabs. “Together, we will maximize the value of video data and lay the foundation for Korea to emerge as a top-three global powerhouse in AI.”
In the media and entertainment sector, the collaboration will deliver innovative solutions to streamline content creation and monetization. Key applications include automatic summarization and highlight generation for news, sports, and TV shows, as well as keyword and scenario-based search across large video archives. The partnership will also enable contextual advertising based on real-time content consumption, enhancing engagement and revenue for broadcasters.
For public safety and investigative services, the partnership focuses on leveraging video AI to improve efficiency and accuracy. Automated detection of specific events in CCTV footage, summarization of body cam and dash cam footage, and scene search for incident-related content will empower law enforcement and legal professionals. These capabilities align with LG CNS’s recent projects with the Korean National Police Agency and other public sector entities.
The collaboration emphasizes two pillars: technological R&D and business co-development. TwelveLabs and LG CNS will enhance the performance of VFMs while co-designing customer-facing services tailored to industry needs. This approach ensures scalable, practical solutions that unlock the value of video data for enterprises.
