Through this agreement, Naver Cloud will take the lead in providing Software as a Service (SaaS) cloud security certification (CSAP) support and development environment support to over 70 member companies of the Korea Textbook Association. The Korea Textbook Association will continuously provide information to help its members understand AI digital textbook services using Naver Cloud and establish a foundation for collaboration between each member company and Naver Cloud.

The Ministry of Education plans to introduce AI digital textbooks nationwide in educational settings by 2025. Through AI digital textbooks, various innovative technologies including AI will be utilized in educational settings to offer diverse learning opportunities tailored to each student's abilities and levels.

It has the capability to operate AI digital textbook services by providing AI tutors, AI assistant teachers, dashboards, and other services based on HyperCLOVA X for personalized learning support. Based on HyperCLOVA X, which has a high understanding of not only language but also socio-cultural contexts, it plans to provide education services optimized for the domestic environment, including AI-based learning diagnosis and analysis, personalized learning reflecting individual learning levels and speeds, and learning courseware designed from the student's perspective.

Kim Yoo-won, CEO of Naver Cloud, said, "This agreement is significant in that it has laid the foundation for the successful development of a jointly utilized AI digital textbook platform by combining Naver Cloud's AI technology with the know-how of the Korea Textbook Association's member companies." He added, "Going forward, we will actively cooperate to revitalize AI digital textbooks that can improve the quality of public education by supporting a smooth development environment for textbook publishers based on Naver Cloud's cloud infrastructure and AI technology."
