Korea’s AI Ecosystem Advances and Secures Agentic AI With NVIDIA

LG AI Research is opening API access for K-EXAONE-2.5, a model developed using NVIDIA Nemotron datasets including Nemotron-Personas-Korea, an open dataset of 7 million fully synthetic Korean personas grounded in official Korean statistics, NVIDIA said. Korean AI security company AIM Intelligence is integrating its Starfort agent control platform with NVIDIA OpenShell, the secure runtime within the NVIDIA Open Agent Safety Platform that provides sandboxed execution and policy-based controls, and is considering a preliminary proof of concept for the public energy sector. Hyundai Motor Group is also exploring NVIDIA NemoClaw blueprints and the OpenShell runtime as AI agents take on more enterprise work.

As AI agents take on more work, they need capable open models and security that advances alongside them. Hyundai Motor Group is exploring NVIDIA NemoClaw blueprints and the NVIDIA OpenShell runtime, while AIM Intelligence is integrating its Starfort platform with NVIDIA OpenShell to support secure AI agents for employee productivity and enterprise workflows. A key component of the NVIDIA Open Agent Safety Platform, OpenShell provides a secure runtime with sandboxed execution and policy-based controls to safeguard sensitive data, manage access to enterprise tools and govern autonomous agent actions. AIM Intelligence, a Korean AI security company, is integrating its Starfort agent control platform with NVIDIA OpenShell. The goal is to combine OpenShell’s runtime access controls with Starfort’s detection of malicious instructions and data leakage. The company is also considering a preliminary proof of concept for the public energy sector, with potential applications across enterprise, industrial and robotics environments. On the model side, LG AI Research is opening application programming interface access for K-EXAONE-2.5, developed using NVIDIA Nemotron datasets, including Nemotron-Personas-Korea https://huggingface.co/datasets/nvidia/Nemotron-Personas-Korea . Nemotron-Personas-Korea is an open dataset of 7 million fully synthetic Korean personas, grounded in official Korean statistics, that model builders use to ground training data and evaluation in Korean contexts. NVIDIA Nemotron is a family of open models, datasets and techniques that help developers build specialized, efficient AI agents.
