Samsung SDS said Monday it will provide AI-powered simultaneous interpretation at the Pacific Insurance Conference, which begins Tuesday in Seoul.
The company’s Brity Copilot platform will deliver real-time interpretation in English, Japanese, Chinese and Korean for the Asia-Pacific region’s largest insurance industry event, bringing together 80 companies.
Brity Copilot uses generative AI to support workplace collaboration, including email, messaging, video meetings and document management. Samsung SDS is also developing a personal agent feature designed to carry out tasks based on user-defined goals.
The conference marks the first use of the personal agent’s interpretation function at a major international gathering. The tool now supports seven languages, including German, Vietnamese and Spanish, and will expand to 17 by November with the addition of Portuguese, Italian and others.
Samsung SDS plans to introduce additional agent-based features, including briefing, answering, curating and voice interaction, by the end of the year.
“Samsung SDS’ interpretation service has proven its quality at international events and will help companies work more effectively with overseas partners,” said Song Hae-goo, executive vice president at Samsung SDS.
“We aim to drive workplace innovation and lead the market through the rollout of personal agents.”
