In line with its basic strategy for sustainable development, Yangpyeong County has been regularly providing sustainable development training for public officials since 2023. This year, the county plans to conduct the training twice—once in the first half and once in the second half of the year.

In his greeting, Yangpyeong County Governor Jin Sun Jeon stated, "For a sustainable Yangpyeong, it is essential to pursue development that considers not only short-term achievements but also future generations. Through this training, I hope that public officials will come to understand artificial intelligence (AI) as a core tool for future administration and actively integrate it into county governance to advance sustainable policies."

Lee Myungho, Chairman of K-Sun, who led this training, explained, "Artificial intelligence (AI) is a key technology that accelerates sustainable development and presents an opportunity to drive innovation in administration and improve the efficiency of public services. However, it also involves various risks such as the digital divide and climate impacts. The public sector must strategically utilize AI to strengthen human-centered policy capabilities."

An official from Yangpyeong County commented, "Yangpyeong County is utilizing generative AI in work across all departments, and we expect this training to help public officials establish a proper understanding of AI usage. Moving forward, we will continue to provide education on various topics to further promote sustainable development."
