Chung-Ang University Advanced Image Graduate School partners with Morpheus Studio for AI Content Education

Chung-Ang University's Graduate School of Advanced Image has forged a strategic partnership with Morpheus Studio to bolster education and joint development in AI-driven content creation. This collaboration, formalized through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed on June 8, aims to strengthen the graduate school's creative training capabilities and expand its foundation for nurturing future-ready talent in the rapidly changing video industry.

Through AICRON, we plan to actively experiment with and expand AI-based production methods in various video projects.

The partnership was preceded by a special lecture delivered by Lee Soo-young, CEO of Morpheus Studio, to over 30 graduate students. Lee, a seasoned professional in visual effects (VFX) for the Korean film industry, introduced Morpheus Studio's AI content creation platform, 'AICRON.' The platform is designed for commercial image and video production, integrating various AI functions and offering a node-based workflow, developed by Korean VFX experts.

During the lecture, Lee detailed how AI technologies can be applied across the entire content production pipeline, from planning to post-production. He shared practical methodologies and real-world applications of 'AI VFX' in film and drama production, which were met with significant enthusiasm from the students. Lee expressed his intention to actively experiment with and expand AI-based production methods through AICRON.

Unlike various overseas AI platforms, AICRON is a 'Korean-style platform' developed by experts who best understand Korea's video production environment, making it highly meaningful.

Professor Choi Jeong-in, who organized the lecture, highlighted AICRON's significance as a 'Korean-style platform' developed by experts who deeply understand the local production environment, differentiating it from various international AI platforms. He believes its integrated AI tools will greatly benefit students' AI content creation education.

AI is a key driver that changes not only process automation but also creative methods and industrial structures. This agreement will serve as an important industry-academia cooperation model for students to critically understand and creatively apply AI technology.

The collaboration will encompass joint planning and operation of AI and media content educational programs, co-production and demonstration projects utilizing AI technology, internships, capstone design projects, and industry-academia collaborations for students. Both institutions will also jointly host seminars and workshops on AI and co-develop educational content and online courses. This initiative is expected to foster a new generation of convergent talent capable of applying AI technologies creatively and critically within the media landscape.

This partnership will serve as an opportunity for students to explore new video expression methods by experimentally utilizing AI-based production tools.
