The Ministry of Planning and Budget is set to fully integrate artificial intelligence (AI) into all aspects of its operations to enhance the capabilities of public servants and improve work efficiency. The ministry plans to centralize scattered data into a single repository for AI utilization and will provide incentives to employees who achieve results using AI.
On June 11, the ministry announced its initiative, "AI-ON for Promoting AI-Based Work Innovation." This plan aims to introduce five key AI services across three main areas: financial strategy and performance management, budget preparation and execution, and administrative tasks. To achieve this, the ministry will implement a three-phase project that includes the establishment of budget records, the creation of a data platform, and the introduction of AI services.
Initially, the ministry will consolidate work-related data from personal computers and messaging applications into a central storage system. This integrated data will be transformed into a format that AI can immediately learn from, creating a unique knowledge database for the ministry.
Subsequently, based on the budget records and data platform, the five key AI services will be rolled out, including the "AI Budget Assistant," macro view, and expenditure magnifier, starting in December.
To enhance employees' AI skills, the ministry has developed a comprehensive training program that includes both online and offline courses, ensuring all staff can easily utilize AI. Earlier, the ministry conducted AI training courses at the beginner and intermediate levels and will continue with one- and two-day training sessions during lunch hours starting this month. Additionally, monthly AI brown bag meetings will feature expert lectures, and a new learning group, AI-X, will be established in connection with "Vision X."
After strengthening the capabilities of its staff, the ministry will create a "Participatory AI Diffusion Model" to share these achievements. An "AI Knowledge Lounge" will be set up to allow employees to share their AI expertise and develop their own AI tools.
Finally, an "AI Work Innovation Promotion Team," led by the Director of the Planning Coordination Office, will be activated, along with a dedicated operational team, the "AI Dedicated Team." Employees who demonstrate improvements in their work through AI will receive performance evaluation bonuses and other incentives.
