"In the era of AI, planning skills become even more important. Those who know what to delegate to AI and those who can design the context will become the leaders."

Kim Kyunghoon, General Manager of OpenAI Korea, took the stage at the "AI Future Talk" event hosted by LG Uplus. On November 5 in Yeoksam-dong, Seoul, LG Uplus held the talk concert "AI Future Talk" to enhance office workers' AI utilization capabilities and expand AI experiences in daily life. Co-hosted with the AI Future Forum of the Citizens' Coalition for a Righteous Scientific and Technological Society (Barun Science and Technology Society), the event attracted around 200 office workers in their 30s and 40s, making it a great success.

This talk concert, planned as the first step in the "AI Universe" initiative, was themed "A Chance to Level Up Your AI Skills After Work." The lectures focused on ways to improve work efficiency using AI while also enabling personal growth. Kim Kyunghoon, who led the main session, is an expert with over 25 years of experience in the global IT and consulting industries. In his lecture, he outlined the qualities and skills needed to build a successful career in the AI era.

The event also featured Kim Seungil, Chairperson of the AI Future Forum, and Ryu Jeonghye, Co-Chairperson, as speakers. They gave lectures on topics such as ▲ how to enhance work efficiency with AI ▲ adopting a mindset to adapt to change ▲ practical examples of AI utilization that office workers can immediately apply to their work. After the lectures, they shared practical AI application strategies through a Q&A session with participants.

LG Uplus set up an on-site experience zone for its AI subscription service, Yudokpick AI, allowing attendees to try out AI services firsthand. Participants experienced a total of 10 AI services, including ▲ "Liner," which enables accurate source-based searches ▲ "Felo," specialized in multilingual searches ▲ "Woosu AI," which integrates various AI models. They directly experienced increased work efficiency through features such as summarizing academic papers and revising designs. All event participants received a one-month free trial of Yudokpick AI.

Jung Hyeyoon, Executive Vice President and Head of the Marketing Group at LG Uplus, stated, "AI Future Talk is an event planned by LG Uplus to foster the AI ecosystem together with various partners," adding, "We will continue to collaborate with businesses, academia, and technology experts to improve public access to AI."
