Title From Superintelligent Video AI to Physical AI

LEE Jae-sung is a pioneering innovator and a global leader in the field of large-scale video understanding AI. From the early days of his company’s founding in 2021, he recognized the immense potential of video data―which accounts for nearly 80% of the world’s information―and boldly focused on developing video understanding models at a time when most major tech companies were concentrating on text and images.
Under his leadership, TwelveLabs has demonstrated exceptional competitiveness through its models Pegasus-1 and Marengo 2.7, achieving up to 43% higher performance compared to Google and OpenAI. In 2024, the company became the first in Korea to supply a foundation model to Amazon AWS Bedrock, standing alongside global giants such as Meta and Anthropic. It has also secured over $120 million in investment from NVIDIA, Samsung, Naver, and other major partners.
Currently, LEE divides his time between Korea and San Francisco, driving AI innovation that redefines how humanity understands the world through video.
