The subsequent expert discussion included Kim Hyunseon, Big Data Officer of Busan Metropolitan City; Won Gwanghae, Head of Spatial Strategy Team at Busan Technopark; Kim Jinbae, Senior Researcher at Busan Institute for the Advancement of Science and Technology Higher Education; and Hwang Boram, reporter at KNN. They discussed topics such as data-driven policy development, expanding citizen participation, and strategies for public-private cooperation.

President Shin Hyunseok stated, "The convergence of AI and big data is transforming the paradigm of policy research. Through the Digital Information Gate System, we will evolve into a data-driven research platform and lead the enhancement of Busan's future policy capabilities."

The Digital Urban Economy Information Center of Busan Research Institute is currently promoting organization-wide digital transformation (AX), including operating the AI Policy Analysis Office and distributing a ChatGPT utilization guidebook, as part of ongoing efforts to strengthen AI utilization capabilities.
