The curriculum will include an AI investment decision-making framework, AI-based financial, tax, and risk assessment models, organizational change management, industry-specific AI application cases, and future manufacturing and management models based on agentic and physical AI. The program is scheduled to run across 10 sessions starting in April.

Through this agreement, the two organizations will collaborate on the joint planning and operation of the program, assemble expert instructors, develop educational content, and provide mentoring and proof of concept (PoC) connections for participating companies. The scope of cooperation will also be continuously expanded to include joint project discovery, development of industry-specific AI solutions, policy proposals, and the cultivation of more AX professionals.

Jihye An, Partner in charge of education at Samil PricewaterhouseCoopers, stated, “The transition to AI, which has so far been centered on large corporations, is now at a critical point of spreading to mid-sized and small but strong enterprises. This program, which combines the industrial AI expertise of the Korea Industrial Intelligence Association with Samil PricewaterhouseCoopers’ management consulting and AX capabilities, will be a rare, hands-on AI executive education program in Korea.”
