AI 'Yeolgong' Studying Kakao Crew ... 'AI Gyeongheomton' Held

Kakao is hosting an internal event to enhance knowledge exchange and artificial intelligence (AI) technology capabilities.

Kakao announced that from the 25th to the 11th of next month, it will designate the period as "AI Week" and hold the "2023 AI Experiencethon" at the Kakao Pangyo Ajit, where employees will share and discuss ways to utilize large-scale AI. The Experiencethon signifies a platform where organization members can experience AI-related technologies and share know-how to grow together. It is a program introduced for the first time this year to allow more employees to experience AI.

First, over four days starting today, five external speakers will provide various insights on generative AI, a recent hot topic. Lectures and Q&A sessions will cover a range of topics from the significance of GPT's emergence to technical limitations and the future of large-scale language models.

From the 3rd, Kakao crew members will take the stage as speakers to share methods of utilizing GPT and cases of its application in work. Moving beyond the previous level where developers learned and exchanged insights among themselves, this stage is planned to disseminate success stories company-wide. Workshop sessions will also be provided where participants can practice what they have learned and experience the latest technology firsthand.

Starting with the Experiencethon, Kakao plans to continuously offer various programs within the year to strengthen employees' AI capabilities. Based on the AI insights shared at the Experiencethon, an internal hackathon will be held in June to promote employee-led knowledge exchange and enhance the AI research environment.

Lee Chaeyoung, Head of Kakao’s Technology Division, said, “With growing internal and external interest in AI, including generative AI, we have created an opportunity for outstanding internal talents to share related cases with Kakao crew members interested in this field. We will continue to focus on strengthening capabilities to unveil various AI-applied services within Kakao.”
