KIM Sung developed the web-crawling-based search engine KachiNe in 1996 before going on to co-found Naravision Inc., where he developed the email service KebiMail. He later taught as a professor at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, winning such honors as the ICSME Most Influential Paper Award (after 10 Years). He is also a four-time winner of the SIGSOFT Distinguished Paper Award, given at world-renowned software engineering conferences such as ICSE and FSE. In 2017, he joined Naver, where he set up the NAVER Clova AI Team; led teams responsible for vision/OCR, speech recognition, speech synthesis, and NLP; and introduced AI services in 30 areas of Naver’s business. Driven by the ambition to make AI technology more widely available for all to use, provide it to more companies, and help accelerate the AI transformation, he founded a startup called Upstage.
