This event was organized to share the achievements of the "Immigrant AI Annotator Training Program," which SK Hynix has promoted in collaboration with the government, local municipalities, academia, and civil society, and to explore ways to expand an inclusive corporate social responsibility (CSR) model. AI annotators are personnel responsible for selecting and processing data so that AI can learn from it.

SK Hynix's AI annotator training program consisted of job training on "annotation," which involves labeling data for AI learning, as well as Korean language education. Immigrant participants who completed the training were given opportunities to participate in data processing projects, thereby strengthening their practical, field-oriented skills. As a result, 84.6% of all graduates are now active in the AI and digital sectors.

SK Hynix designated Anseong City, a key partner region for its Yongin campus, as the hub for this initiative. To help local immigrants establish a stable income base, the company introduced the "AI Data Planet (AI Annotator Training)" program, an AI-based job creation model, in partnership with the Together Foundation. This initiative also aligns with Anseong City’s current situation, as the city reached a milestone this year with 20,000 immigrants, who now make up 10% of the total population.

The event was attended by Jeong Sangrok, Executive Vice President (CR) of SK Hynix, Anseong City Mayor Kim Bora, Anseong City Council Chairperson An Jeongyeol, officials from the Ministry of Justice, and others. Experts from academia, research institutions, and civic groups also participated, exchanging views on immigrant employment and integration into the local community.

SK Hynix plans to use this symposium as an opportunity to further strengthen cooperation with the government, local municipalities, and educational institutions. The company aims to develop the AI Data Planet program into a sustainable CSR model and to continue contributing to expanding digital job participation for immigrants and fostering an inclusive employment ecosystem.
