MediaZen Develops Generative AI English Education Platform with Busan University of Foreign Studies

MediaZen announced on the 13th that it has completed the development of a prototype for an artificial intelligence (AI) English education platform in collaboration with Busan University of Foreign Studies.

This platform development was carried out as part of the Regional Innovation Industry (RIS) project promoted by Busan City. RIS is a project aimed at △regional industrial development △nurturing local talent linked with universities △establishing regional cooperation systems △attracting businesses and creating jobs through collaboration among universities, local governments, and companies.

Choi Eun-sil, Director of the Foreign Language Education Center at Busan University of Foreign Studies, stated, "Based on the platform developed this time, Busan citizens will be able to learn English at various levels from infants to middle-aged adults," adding, "We will contribute to lifelong education projects for citizens by utilizing diverse learning content and AI functions."

MediaZen applied generative AI free conversation using ChatGPT, digital native English teachers, and Busan University of Foreign Studies' English education content to this platform. In a user evaluation conducted with about 50 Busan citizens, approximately 90% responded that they would actively participate when the official service opens.

Song Min-gyu, CEO of MediaZen, said, "We have secured competitiveness to actively learn with AI teachers in essential English education areas such as reading, writing, listening, and speaking," adding, "Since various technologies such as voice recognition, speech synthesis, English pronunciation evaluation, and generative AI are applied, we will strive for successful commercialization."
