KT is actively supporting the development of future artists by providing specialized AI education. In collaboration with the Busan Metropolitan Office of Education and the Korea Press Foundation, the company recently conducted an engaging AI capability and ethics training program for students at Busan Arts Middle School.
This initiative, which began in 2023, aims to foster AI literacy and digital citizenship among elementary, middle, and high school students. The program tailored for Busan Arts Middle School uniquely integrates AI concepts with artistic creation, recognizing the growing importance of technology in the arts.
KT's University Student IT Supporters (KIT) led the training sessions. These included workshops on generative AI, interactive board games, and team-based missions designed to help students grasp AI's possibilities and boundaries. The program also incorporated mentorship, allowing students to discuss academic and personal challenges with their college-age mentors.
An 'KT AI Station,' a mobile AI experience center, was also present at the school. It allowed students to interact with AI technologies like generative AI studios and AI humans. Furthermore, they engaged with digital ethics content, such as deepfake and fake news detection, enhancing their ability to critically evaluate AI-generated information. The students also watched a media literacy educational play, 'Jump X Cut,' and participated in discussions to differentiate between fact and fiction in media.
