SK Broadband to Cultivate AI Experts Among All Employees... "Making This the Inaugural Year of AX Innovation"

Expansion of "AI Performers" to 400 Employees

On April 20, SK Broadband announced that it has designated "Working with Artificial Intelligence (AI)" and "Dynamic SKB" as the core keywords for its organizational culture this year, and will focus on strengthening the AI expertise of all employees to cultivate AI specialists throughout the company.

Last year, the company laid the foundation for AI adoption by introducing an AI level certification system and launching autonomous learning groups such as "AI Study Mate." This year, SK Broadband aims to make 2026 the inaugural year of AI Transformation (AX) innovation, focusing on translating these efforts into tangible work outcomes.

From March to October 2026, SK Broadband is running the "AI Agent Lab," an intensive AI training program for all employees.

The goal of this program is to more than double the proportion of "AI Performers"—employees with intermediate or higher AI skills—from the previous 9% to 20%, reaching 400 people. In addition, by the end of this year, all employees are expected to complete the beginner-level "AI Runner" course, thereby spreading a workplace culture of working with AI throughout the company.

The company expects that the 400 "AI Performers" who complete the training will be able to independently develop and apply AI agents in their respective work areas, resulting in the creation of at least 400 customized AI work tools within the organization.

The main curriculum consists of the latest AI tools that can be immediately utilized in actual work. Employees can proactively select and deploy optimal tools that best suit their work characteristics, including the in-house business-specialized agent AidotBiz 2.0, field-oriented AI agents built with the no-code platform Defy, and an integrated AI work platform based on Gemini Enterprise.

Currently, SK Broadband has made tailored AI leadership courses mandatory for all ranks, from new employees to executives and team leaders, and is hosting forums for regional business sites. Additionally, the company is further advancing the "AI Certification System" to enhance intuitive management of its AI talent pool.

Min Boosik, Head of Corporate Culture Center at SK Broadband, stated, "This year, all employees will become AI experts, making AI the standard for how we work. By empowering employees to develop their own AI agents and establish a culture of productivity innovation, we will generate real business value."
