The year 2023 was the year of ChatGPT. ChatGPT is an AI-based chatbot developed by OpenAI that communicates with users and answers questions in a human-like manner. Chatbots are AI-based platforms that interact with users and provide a variety of services. The core technology behind such chatbot platforms is Natural Language Processing (NLP), which enables the system to understand and respond to human language. NLP preprocesses natural language expressed through various words and languages into corresponding data to generate results.

Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a field of artificial intelligence that enables machines to understand, generate, and manipulate human language. NLP can be divided into Natural Language Understanding (NLU) and Natural Language Generation (NLG).
NLU is a technology for understanding the structure and meaning of human language, enabling communication through semantic analysis, intent analysis, entity recognition, and sentiment analysis.
NLG is a technology that generates natural language from structured data, providing stages such as content determination, natural language generation, and realization to deliver appropriate answers to user queries.

Domestic companies are also actively developing chatbot technologies. Cartius Co., Ltd. (CEO: Minji Ahn), a Korean early childhood education chatbot company, successfully raised Pre-A funding after being recognized for its technological capabilities. Cartius operates “Kati,” an attachment-doll-based educational chatbot for young children. Kati can recognize unclear pronunciation typical of infants and toddlers—often not recognized by adult-oriented chatbots—and provide personalized conversations across various topics. It also offers diverse content such as fairy tales and children’s songs tailored to young children’s needs. Based on this investment, the company plans to enter the childcare market and expand globally through active marketing.

Various other companies are also actively developing chatbot technologies. SK Inc. (CEO: Dong-hyun Jang) developed a scenario generation technology to address the issue of designing chatbot scenarios separately for each platform. This improves efficiency when deploying chatbots across multiple platforms. Mindset Co., Ltd. (CEO: Il-young Lee) developed multi-domain NLP technology that enables learning across diverse domains, enhancing the general applicability of natural language processing. As such, domestic companies are actively advancing chatbot development.

The government is also actively adopting chatbots, particularly in civil complaint handling and education. AI chatbots introduced by government agencies provide desired results to citizens based on the services offered and big-data-driven NLP analysis. However, there are still limitations, as services are provided only within restricted scopes. In addition, regional education offices are introducing educational chatbots to provide students with learning support and schedule management. Overall, government adoption of chatbots is active.
The BLT Patent & Law Firm Research Center stated that “the chatbot market based on natural language processing technology is expected to expand rapidly, making it important for companies to establish response strategies to these technological changes.” It also emphasized that “chatbot technology relies heavily on deep learning for training, and securing rights related to algorithm development and training data collection is essential.”
As of 2024, BLT Patent & Law Firm has been chosen by more than 2,000 innovative startups as a partner, supporting corporate growth and success through IP acquisition, strategy development, investment attraction, and IP-based business support such as technology-special listings.
