Jeonbuk National University to train AI specialists to drive regional growth

Jeonbuk National University is ramping up its efforts to train artificial intelligence (AI) specialists at the master's and doctoral levels, with the goal of driving growth in regional industries. The university intends to produce highly skilled "AI+X" professionals who can seamlessly integrate AI with emerging sectors through its research-oriented education system at the Graduate School of AI Convergence.

This strategic plan is part of a broader initiative to elevate the graduate school to the ranks of the world's top 100 AI-specialized graduate schools. To achieve this, the university will introduce an "AI+X Advancement Program" under the supervision of the Graduate School of AI Convergence. Simultaneously, the university plans to significantly enhance its educational and research infrastructure.

Unlike conventional AI programs, Jeonbuk National University aims to cultivate research-oriented talent capable of merging AI with strategic industries pivotal to the region's development. These sectors include physical AI, robotics, defense, biotechnology, healthcare, smart farming, and hydrogen energy. The Graduate School operates seven departments, each contributing to this comprehensive approach.
