Additionally, 74 percent of respondents expressed interest in education focused on enhancing their AI abilities.

The report also delves into the impact of AI education on workers' productivity. It was found that providing advanced AI prompt writing training can help employees cut their working hours by a third, when compared to utilizing basic prompts. Furthermore, the annual productivity gain resulting from such education is estimated to range between 2.3 million won and 4.7 million won.
