LG CNS announced on the 8th that it will collaborate with the Incheon Metropolitan Office of Education to support English education through artificial intelligence (AI).

LG CNS signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Incheon Metropolitan Office of Education the day before for 'AI-based foreign language conversation education service cooperation.' Through this agreement, approximately 300,000 elementary, middle, and high school students in Incheon can study English with AI without restrictions on location, whether at school or home. LG CNS explained that when combined with the 1.2 million students currently supported through agreements with the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education, Jeollanam-do Office of Education, and Daegu Metropolitan Office of Education, a total of about 1.5 million students can enjoy AI learning services free of charge.

LG CNS will provide the Incheon Metropolitan Office of Education with 'AI Tutor' and 'Speaking Class' free of charge. 'AI Tutor' is a smartphone app that allows users to learn English by naturally conversing with AI. 'Speaking Class' is a production platform that enables teachers to create their own AI English learning services using AI conversation algorithms and voice recognition technology. The Incheon Metropolitan Office of Education will distribute 'AI Tutor' and 'Speaking Class' to approximately 530 elementary, middle, and high schools within Incheon and implement them in education. They plan to utilize these in regular classes and after-school programs.

LG CNS and the Incheon Metropolitan Office of Education will jointly promote projects including support for foreign language conversation learning services through 'AI Tutor,' customized education using the AI English learning service production platform 'Speaking Class,' and hosting the English speaking contest 'Kids Malhaton.' They will also cooperate in developing multilingual AI learning services that can be used for multicultural student education in languages such as Chinese and Vietnamese in the future.

Kim Eun-saeng, Vice President and Head of LG CNS D&A Division, said, "This agreement will be the starting point for digital innovation in public education," adding, "We will fully leverage LG CNS's IT capabilities to actively support the digital transformation (DX) of the education field."
