1 in 2 GS Employees Use Generative AI for Work... Event Held to Share Know-How

Subsidiary Employees Attend Voluntarily... "Accelerating Work Improvement Efforts"
Huh Tae-soo: "Generative AI is a Shortcut Connecting Customers and Work"

GS Group announced on the 29th that it held an internal event called 'GS Generative AI Connect Day' at GS Tower in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, to share experiences and technical know-how from work improvement projects using generative AI.

At the event held the previous day, 68 employees from affiliates including GS Caltex, GS Retail, GS Construction, and GS EPS gathered to share experiences related to generative AI applications and work improvement projects. GS Group stated, "There were more employees from general departments unrelated to IT (40 people) than those from IT-related departments (28 people)," and added, "We recognized that the use of generative AI is spreading widely regardless of job category."

According to a survey conducted by GS Group among these participants, 85% responded that they have experience using generative AI. Following that, 52% said they used generative AI-related SaaS (Software as a Service) for tasks such as data analysis, and 25.5% reported having experience directly creating work support applications utilizing GPTs and other tools.

GS Group explained that the survey results "show that actual work improvement efforts related to generative AI are gaining momentum."

On the afternoon of the 28th, GS Group held the 'GS GenAI Connect Day' event to share know-how on business innovation using generative AI.

At the senior management level, GS Group holds an 'AI Digital Council' every quarter, attended by all presidents within the group. This year, external lectures and internal presentations on innovation cases will be conducted so that the presidents can directly understand how to use generative AI.

GS Chairman Huh Tae-soo announced the management policy for this year on the 4th of last month, stating, "The ability to skillfully handle digital tools such as generative AI will be a core competitive advantage for future business," and urged, "Let many executives and employees become familiar with generative AI tools to accelerate work innovation." He also requested, "Please adopt an open attitude that generative AI is a shortcut connecting customers and your own work."

In January, GS Group gathered about 40 DX personnel from each affiliate for a month-long joint work session. They also held a prototype competition using generative AI to solve customer pain points.
