This education program focuses on artificial intelligence (AI) as its core theme and will be offered in five main courses: ▲ Everyday Life ▲ Digital Utilization ▲ Finance ▲ Prevention of Electronic Financial Fraud (Phishing) ▲ Artificial Intelligence (Generative AI).


The program will run from April 30 until early December and will be held at the Jongha Innovation Center as well as welfare centers and lifelong learning centers equipped with information education facilities in the five districts of the city.


Applications can be made through the Digital Learning Center website or call center, and all Ulsan citizens can participate free of charge.

In particular, starting this year, a permanent education center will be established on the third floor of the Jongha Innovation Center to provide more systematic and continuous digital education, including real-time support for solving digital-related issues.


On the first floor of the center, a "Digital Experience Zone" will be set up, allowing citizens to try out and learn about the latest digital devices, providing opportunities to experience cutting-edge digital technology firsthand.


In addition, customized outreach education will be provided in connection with local community hubs such as welfare centers and senior centers, thereby improving educational accessibility for digitally marginalized groups.


For citizens in underserved areas without educational facilities, an education (Edu) bus equipped with educational equipment will be operated to provide tailored digital education.


A city official stated, "We will continue to focus on creating synergy through the organic integration of technology, education, and policy to realize a digitally inclusive city where citizens and public officials grow together."


Alongside citizen education, Ulsan City is also accelerating efforts to strengthen the AI utilization capacity of its staff. To this end, paid generative AI accounts are being distributed throughout the administration, and intelligent (smart) administration based on AI and Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is being actively pursued.


RPA is being introduced for repetitive and simple administrative tasks, while AI tools are being used for more advanced tasks such as planning and civil service processing, with the aim of simultaneously enhancing work efficiency and policy planning capabilities.



Furthermore, a public officials' AI research group called "Routine Breakers" has been formed to share AI adoption cases from various practical fields and to continue experimental initiatives for creative problem-solving, thereby laying the foundation for Ulsan-style intelligent (smart) administration.
