AI Technology Accessible to Everyone

Tokyo, Japan - April 11, 2023 - KLab Inc.'s (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo, President & CEO: Hidekatsu Morita, hereinafter referred to as "KLab") Web3 centered subsidiary BLOCKSMITH&Co. (Head Office: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President & CEO: Tetsuya Sanada; hereinafter "BLOCKSMITH") announces the establishment of the BLOCKSMITH AI Lab on April 11, 2023, which aims to make AI technology accessible to everyone.

Background

Due to the remarkable evolution and high practicality of generative AI, the interest for the technology has rapidly spread to a wide audience. However, the discussion of generative AI technology has thus far been mostly focused on increasing business efficiency; i.e. cost reduction, and have garnered negative opinions such as fear of AI replacing jobs traditionally done by humans.

At BLOCKSMITH AI Lab, we aim to create opportunities to engage in AI technology by combining Web3 technology with Generative AI, and reduce negative misconception around the technology.

Our Research Goal

The research goal of BLOCKSMITH AI Lab is to create practical use cases for AI applications with user-friendly UI/UX that anyone can use.

We will focus on research and development of the AI application layer, and aim to make AI technology more accessible to people by combining large-scale language models (LLMs) such as GPT-4 with generative AI such as DALL-E2, Stable Diffusion, and Midjourney, as well as by utilizing fine-tuning and prompt engineering.

Plans to Incorporate AI Research

We are also planning to incorporate the results of BLOCKSMITH AI Lab's research in our recently announced upcoming game service "Quiz to Earn 'QAQA'".
