KB Starters Adopts Selectstar's AI Reliability Verification Solution

AI data specialist Selectstar has been finally selected for KB Financial Group’s innovative startup incubation program, ‘2025 KB Starters,’ solidifying its position as a leader in the domestic AI reliability verification field. ‘KB Starters’ is a prestigious program operated by KB Financial Group since 2015, actively discovering promising technology startups in fields like AI and FinTech and supporting strategic collaboration and commercialization with KB Financial affiliates. Selectstar was highly recognized for its automated evaluation technology that ensures the reliability of AI services and its capabilities in building high-quality data. It was lauded as a company possessing essential evaluation system capabilities for expanding AI utilization in the financial sector, thus seizing this opportunity. This selection holds even greater significance for Selectstar. This is because the company has already successfully participated in Samsung Financial Networks' open innovation program ‘2025 C-Lab Outside,’ where it performed quantitative verification and data construction consulting for Samsung Life Insurance's LLM-based services. Now, through collaboration with KB Financial Group, Selectstar is expected to secure additional references within the financial sector and emerge as an unrivaled leading company in the domestic AI reliability verification market. Kim Se-yeop, CEO of Selectstar, emphasized, "As the utilization of generative AI services rapidly increases in the financial sector, the demand for AI reliability evaluation is also growing quickly." He added, "We will devote all our efforts to building an AI reliability evaluation system optimized for the financial industry through close collaboration with KB Financial Group." Currently, Selectstar is actively conducting evaluation and verification projects in various industrial sectors, primarily focusing on ‘Datumo Eval,’ its automated LLM reliability verification solution. Furthermore, it is spearheading the establishment of standards in the AI reliability field by participating as a testing institution in ‘AI-MASTER,’ a domestic private AI reliability certification system developed jointly with the Korea Artificial Intelligence Industry Association and Suresoft, leading the design of evaluation items and the development of automated evaluation tools.
