[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Gwangju Metropolitan City has decided to actively cooperate in revitalizing the Gwangju artificial intelligence data ecosystem by promoting the ‘Artificial Intelligence Data Labeling Education’ and employment programs as part of the AI Digital New Deal project with AIMMO Co., Ltd.

AIMMO Co., Ltd. is a specialized AI learning data processing platform company that classifies and labels (annotates) various structured and unstructured data such as text, images, videos, and sounds for machine learning, processing large volumes of training data to provide services.

Gwangju City announced on the 9th that it signed a business agreement with AIMMO Co., Ltd.

The main contents of the agreement include ▲establishing a collaborative system to create and revitalize the Gwangju AI data ecosystem ▲promoting AI learning data processing education to create Gwangju-type jobs ▲planning and promoting education and employment programs for AI field professionals.

The AI learning data processing market is expected to greatly contribute to job creation in Gwangju, aligning with the three major projects of the Korean New Deal policy announced by the government last month: ‘Digital Infrastructure Construction,’ ‘Non-face-to-face Industry Promotion,’ and ‘Digitalization of Social Overhead Capital.’

Prior to the agreement, AIMMO Co., Ltd. began the first AI data labeling education course for 40 Gwangju citizens on the 2nd as part of the AI Digital New Deal project, and plans to conduct 10 sessions over 10 weeks aiming for a total of 400 graduates by early August.

The AI data labeling education is a workforce training program for building AI training data. After consulting with data processing companies, participants can be deployed in non-face-to-face jobs, making it essential education for AI-centered Gwangju in preparation for the post-COVID-19 era. It is expected to create new jobs in Gwangju for everyone from young people needing short-term jobs to elderly people familiar with computers.

Currently, 160 people have applied for education up to the 4th session, and 40 people can apply weekly on a first-come, first-served basis through the Gwangju Metropolitan City Hall website until the 16th of next month.

Oh Seung-taek, CEO of AIMMO Co., Ltd., said, “We plan to enhance mutual understanding and cooperation to nurture AI talent and create jobs in Gwangju, as well as to strengthen the future national competitiveness.”

Mayor Lee Yong-seop said, “To create jobs that Gwangju citizens can feel, we will cooperate with more AI-related companies,” and added, “Beyond being a human rights city, Gwangju will become a city good for business and full of jobs. Gwangju City will devote all its capabilities to achieve this.”
