LG CNS has joined the founding members of a global alliance using artificial intelligence (AI) to accelerate the discovery of new materials, becoming the only Korean IT company in the initiative. The company said Monday it will partner with British AI startup CuspAI, which launched the alliance, to help Korean manufacturers use AI to develop next-generation materials. The alliance, called the AI Materials Foundry, combines AI, data, computing resources and scientific expertise to accelerate the discovery and development of new materials. According to LG CNS, its 48 members include Nvidia, Meta, AMD, 3M and Merck, along with leading research institutions. LG CNS will use CuspAI's AI platform to help companies in industries such as semiconductors, chemicals and energy develop materials with desired properties, such as greater heat resistance and improved carbon capture, while significantly shortening development time. One customer, Finnish chemicals company Kemira, shortened a materials development project from several years to six months using the platform, identifying 20 promising candid
