Gyeonggi Province to Train Senior Public Officials as "AI Administration Experts" Until December 19

Gyeonggi Province will conduct the "AI Administration Expert Training for Senior Public Officials in Gyeonggi Province" a total of eight times until December 19.

This training program was designed to foster local government leaders who are experts in AI administration, leading the era of artificial intelligence.

The curriculum is structured to enhance understanding of artificial intelligence in public administration, strengthen data-driven policy-making capabilities, develop AI-based decision-making skills, support AI transformation in the industrial field, and cover essential topics such as AI law, systems, and ethics necessary for AI administration.

In collaboration with the AI Corporate Training Center at Seoul National University, professors specializing in the field of AI will participate to cover key topics in essential areas, including the latest AI technologies, AI and public innovation, and AI ethics and international norms.

Dong-yeon Kim, Governor of Gyeonggi Province, stated, "As the primary partner in advancing toward becoming one of the world's top three AI powerhouses, Gyeonggi Province will continue to strengthen the AI capabilities of the public sector, starting with senior public officials, through comprehensive AI education that encompasses data, infrastructure, talent, and systems."

This training program was organized following a suggestion made by a company representative from an AI Leaders company during a meeting with Governor Dong-yeon Kim, who was on a business trip to China in September, proposing that it would be beneficial to offer a short-term AI expert course at the Gyeonggi Provincial Government.

Gyeonggi Province expects that senior public officials participating in the training will strengthen their capabilities as leaders of local government AI administration in the era of national AI transformation, and gain extensive knowledge about policy-applied AI such as "AI and Public Innovation," "Physical AI," and "AI Humanomics."

Gyeonggi Province is leading AI policy by establishing the nation’s first dedicated AI department and implementing the "Gyeonggi Province AI Registration System" to transparently manage the use of artificial intelligence in the public sector.

Recently, Gyeonggi Province became the first local government in the country to launch an administrative innovation service using the Gyeonggi Generative AI Platform based on sovereign AI.
