Busan Port Authority (BPA) has launched the "BPA AI Task Force," comprising a total of 30 members, to actively support the government's key national agenda of becoming one of the top three AI powerhouses, with a particular focus on Busan Port.

The BPA AI Task Force is led by the Executive Vice President, who serves as the Chief AI Officer (Team Leader). The Head of Digital AI, a newly established position as of July 1, and the Director of Planning and Coordination jointly serve as operational co-leads. In addition, 27 AI task managers have been appointed from various departments, establishing a company-wide collaborative system to ensure effective implementation.

The AI Task Force plans to identify key strategies and action items to develop the "BPA AI Strategic Plan." It will establish a roadmap for implementation through the end of 2030, divided into short- and mid-to-long-term phases, and will work to advance these initiatives through communication and collaboration with a range of internal and external stakeholders.

Song Sangkeun, President of Busan Port Authority, stated, "We have been driving the digital transformation of Busan Port by developing systems such as the transshipment monitoring system (Port-i), the transshipment transportation system (TSS), and the electronic delivery order (E-SLIP). Going forward, we plan to focus our efforts on further enhancing Busan Port's competitiveness by expanding the application of AI technologies to a wide range of areas, including disaster and safety accident prevention and organizational management."
