LG CNS announced on April 27 that it has signed a reseller partner agreement to provide OpenAI's "ChatGPT Edu" to educational institutions.
Following its previous reseller partner agreement for ChatGPT Enterprise, LG CNS plans to target the educational artificial intelligence transformation (AX) market as a ChatGPT Edu reseller partner.
ChatGPT Edu is designed exclusively for educational institutions, supporting on-campus work such as generating lecture materials, organizing research data and reports, and providing customized tutoring. It offers the same level of security environment as the enterprise version of ChatGPT, allowing students, professors, and researchers to use it without concerns about sensitive information leakage.
Arizona State University, California State University, and Harvard University have adopted ChatGPT Edu to enhance overall educational productivity. Estonia has also introduced ChatGPT Edu across its secondary education system, expanding AI utilization among students and teachers.
LG CNS will support educational institutions to effectively adopt and utilize ChatGPT Edu. The company is conducting an introduction tour program for major universities in the Seoul metropolitan area and also plans to hold AI education seminars. In the future, LG CNS is considering collaborating with universities and OpenAI to develop AI education curricula based on ChatGPT Edu and to organize hackathons.
The LG CNS "OpenAI Launch Center," which specializes in the ChatGPT business, provides full-stack services covering consulting and professional technical support necessary for the adoption of ChatGPT Edu. This organization is comprised mainly of LG CNS's AI engineers, AI architects, and AI consultants, and works in collaboration with OpenAI's expert engineers.
Taehoon Kim, Executive Vice President and Head of AI Cloud Business at LG CNS, stated, "Through our ChatGPT Enterprise business, we have rapidly expanded customer use cases and achieved significant results. With this new ChatGPT Edu reseller agreement, we are now expanding our business into the educational AX sector. Moving forward, we will continue to support more students and educational institutions in leveraging AI to enhance productivity in learning and research."
