How wonderful would it be if we can make money in our free time while helping researchers enhance AI efficiency at the same time? This is the idea that came to the mind of two young engineers from Chulalongkorn University who successfully developed ‘Wang’ (Free), a multi-award-winning platform that matches your free time with business opportunities and creates benefits for society. Various innovation awards guarantee the platform is the best startup.
Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are playing an increasingly crucial role in our daily lives, be it a smart assistant system like Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa, Siri, or Customer Services systems such as ChatBot and intelligent call centers of various organizations, or medical equipment systems. The development of AI and ML requires a big and diverse data collection that costs a lot in terms of investment, manpower and time. thai university
Such limitations became opportunities for two young students from Chula Faculty of Engineering to create a business that links AI/ML that relies on “big data” with “people with free time”(free time). Wang (Free Time) — a platform that allows “people with free time” to work on data labeling and data collection which are the most time-consuming tasks in AI creation.
The inception of “Wang”
Krit Kangwanpongphan, a master’s degree student from the Department of Computer Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Chulalongkorn University, founder of the startup K.G. & Patrick Co., Ltd., and owner of the ‘Wang’ platform, talked about the birth of his business idea. “During my master’s degree study, I did my research on AI and ML and found that the pain point in AI/ML market was insufficient quantitative and qualitative data, and the lack of variety of data to match the needs of data users. This counteracts the growth in the ML market which is playing an increasingly important role in our daily life. So, I wanted to bridge this gap from the data users’ side.”
“In creating AI/ML, we have to imagine it as to be an infant. We must gradually teach it what things are, what we want it to do. We have to keep feeding it information. So, the most important thing in ML is ‘data’. No AI project would work without sufficient data. The more the data, the better the work,” Krit emphasized the importance of data collection as the foundation of AI/ML.
