Jeonbuk National University is ramping up its commitment to developing artificial intelligence (AI) specialists at the master's and doctoral levels who can contribute to the growth of regional industries. The institution announced its intention to nurture highly skilled "AI+X" professionals through a research-focused education system at the Graduate School of AI Convergence.
This initiative is part of a broader plan to elevate the graduate school to the ranks of the world's top 100 AI-specialized graduate programs. To achieve this objective, the university will introduce the "AI+X Advancement Program," overseen by the Graduate School of AI Convergence, and significantly enhance its educational and research facilities.
Instead of merely producing AI experts, the university aspires to cultivate research-oriented talent capable of merging AI with critical regional strategic sectors, such as physical AI, robotics, defense, biotechnology, healthcare, smart farming, and hydrogen energy. The graduate school encompasses seven departments, with the specific departments not detailed in the source provided.
