GYEONGGI Province is planning to incorporate generative artificial intelligence (GPT) into its policies. The Province will establish a dedicated organisation to pursue systematic utilisation measures such as those pertaining to public debate, legislative research, idea discovery, and administrative innovation.
Gyeonggi Province will introduce administrative services, such as an artificial intelligence call centre, and integrate GPT with projects such as art education and exhibition promotion for people with developmental disabilities. Moreover, in the second half of this year, Gyeonggi will promote the creation of a fund of KRW 50 billion to foster related future-based industries such as GPT.
Internally, ‘Gyeonggi GPT’ refers to achieving administrative efficiency. Externally, the term encompasses provincial policies and systems that utilise generative artificial intelligence technology tailored to the circumstances of the province to expand opportunities for Gyeonggi residents and industries.
To expand participation opportunities for Gyeonggi residents, the ‘GPT Gyeonggi-do Citizen Creation Group’ project will undertake AI utilisation training in which professional instructors participate in connection with organisations (facilities) for the disabled in Gyeonggi Province; this will see the operation of a programme to display the digital and real works of disabled people.
To garner feedback from stakeholders and identify policy support measures for the development of the artificial intelligence industry based on this initiative, Gyeonggi Province will launch the “GPT Industry-Academia-Research Centre-Public Institution Council” and hold related meetings. The (tentatively named) Future Growth Fund, which is slated for creation in the second half of the year for promising startups in future-based industries such as generative artificial intelligence (GPT) and big data in Gyeonggi, will be raised and offer support valued at approximately KRW 50 billion. In the field of administrative innovation, an artificial intelligence-based call centre will be jointly promoted by Gyeonggi Province and KT.
To foster the improvement of laws and social ethics amid the advent of artificial intelligence, legislative research will be promoted, while public deliberation processes will also be pursued through research forums and debates in the Gyeonggi Provincial Assembly. In addition, Gyeonggi plans to take the lead in embracing the GPT era by introducing education for provincial residents, public officials, and the private sector on how to best use ChatGPT.
