On April 16, 2018, Gyeongsangbuk province announced that they will be launching an Artificial Intelligence (AI) Research Center at the POSTECH Information Research Lab.

The institute will be operated by a handful of experts. 20 POSTECH professors, who also happen to be Korea’s top AI and Internet of Things professionals, will assist the center to function as an AI Industrial Promotion Center. Experts who have worked with Germany’s AI Research Center (DFKI) to constitute the ‘POSCO Smart Factory’ will also participate to increase the usage of the ‘smart factory’.

Gyeongsangbuk province has worked in tandem with the POSTECH Information Research Laboratories to constitute a consortium to perform research and business development within the industrial robotic field. Currently, they have been working on many projects including the danger analysis of earthquake evacuation facilities using AI technology. Contributions made within the AI field will certainly stimulate such business processes.

POSTECH also plans to open up AI education to all local industries and research institutions. As well, Gyeongsangbuk province plans to pursue the government’s science and technology policy and work on local research and solution development as well.
