Naver is partnering with the National Institute for Lifelong Education to create AI and digital lifelong education content. The initiative aims to provide an environment where senior users can easily and conveniently utilize artificial intelligence (AI) and digital services in their daily lives.
On August 7, Naver announced that it signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the National Institute for Lifelong Education at Naver 1784. The agreement aims to enhance the AI and digital capabilities of seniors and digitally marginalized groups, addressing the digital divide in a practical manner.
Naver and the National Institute for Lifelong Education will jointly develop and distribute AI and digital lifelong education content to expand lifelong learning opportunities.
In particular, they will create digital literacy textbooks based on the Naver Whale browser. This will provide easy-to-understand instructions on using Naver services, including how to shop on Naver and utilize Whale features in everyday life.
Kim Wol-yong, head of the National Institute for Lifelong Education, stated, “By linking Naver’s technological capabilities with the education sector in the era of generative AI, we can innovatively bridge the digital literacy gap in daily life. We will actively work to connect the infrastructures of both institutions to realize universal lifelong education welfare.”
Lee Yoon-sook, head of Naver Shopping, remarked, “In line with the era of AI commerce, we will enhance various services and, through this agreement, ensure that Naver Shopping and other AI-based services become easy and convenient tools for everyone.”
Meanwhile, Naver is expanding its Whale browser as a platform to support education and AI utilization. Based on the educational experiences accumulated through Whale Space and Whale Book, it has introduced an online digital assessment service called 'Whale UBT.' Additionally, it plans to unveil a Whale browser-specific AI agent that assists with webpage summarization and navigation.
