The 'Global AI Bootcamp' is a program that has been held annually since 2018 in cities around the world, featuring the latest lectures, workshops, and hands-on activities in the field of artificial intelligence (AI).

The city promoted this event to provide citizens with opportunities to acquire the latest technologies and information from top experts leading data and AI technologies, as well as diverse experiences through human networking.

This year, the event will be held in 93 major cities worldwide across Asia, Europe, America, and Africa throughout March, and our city will host it again this year following last year.

The event will introduce generative AI technologies such as 'ChatGPT', 'DALL-E', and 'Copilot', which have recently been heating up the world, as well as data analysis cases using 'GitHub Copilot'.

Additionally, ways to utilize Microsoft’s generative AI technologies like 'Azure OpenAI' will be explored together with experts including Microsoft MVPs (Most Valuable Professionals).

Anyone can participate in the event, and registration is available on the '2024 Global AI Bootcamp in BUSAN' website.

At the same time, the Busan Big Data Innovation Center will hold the '2024 Project Briefing Session'.

Various support projects and programs aimed at advancing the local data industry ecosystem, such as 'BUSAN DATA WEEK 2024', 'DX Bootcamp', 'DX Forum', 'Data Global Hackathon', 'Code for Busan', the establishment of industry-academia cooperation courses, and PBL support, will be introduced to provide valuable information to data industry stakeholders and interested citizens.

Lee Kyung-deok, the city’s planning officer, said, “Big data and AI technologies are not optional but essential for preparing for the future,” adding, “We will continue to do our best to ensure that living information and trends related to big data and AI can be accessed easily in Busan through the Busan Big Data Innovation Center.”

The Busan Big Data Innovation Center was established last year to create a self-sustaining data ecosystem by discovering business models based on the city’s specialized data economy. It serves as a hub for planning Busan’s data industry, discovering projects, nurturing companies, fostering convergence talents through industry-academia cooperation, and promoting the growth of the data industry.
