Employee-Led AI Service Implementation: KOSME Selects 10 Teams for "In-house AX Challenge"

Finalists Chosen for Policy Fund Performance Review and Business Evaluation Support
Service Advancement Supported Through AI Training and Development

The Korea SMEs and Startups Agency (KOSME) announced on May 6 that it has selected 10 finalist teams for its "In-house AI Transformation (AX) Challenge," which aims to enhance employees' artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities and promote a culture of work innovation.

The "In-house AI Transformation (AX) Challenge" is an internal innovation competition where employees identify inefficiencies in their work and implement solutions, or use AI coding tools to improve their tasks. The program is designed so that even non-developers can directly lead the development of new services.

This year's challenge received a total of 41 proposals across two areas: work efficiency improvement and customer service enhancement. After an internal review, KOSME selected 10 projects that stood out for their creativity and potential for application and scalability.

The selected projects include: ▲ an AI-powered program for checking performance indicators of policy funds, ▲ an AI-based business evaluation work assistant, and ▲ an advanced safety and health management system utilizing AI-based real-time risk assessment, among others.

KOSME plans to provide the 10 selected teams with intensive training to strengthen their AI proficiency through August, and will support the implementation and further development of their projects through expert coaching. By October, the teams will undergo user testing and service stability checks, and in November, four outstanding cases will be selected and awarded.

Lee Byungcheol, Vice President of KOSME, stated, "This challenge is particularly effective because field staff define the problems themselves and implement solutions using AI technology. We will continue to strengthen our employees' AI capabilities and consistently deliver tangible work innovation results that people can experience in their daily lives."
