Gachon University is enhancing the AI capabilities of its administrative staff, expanding the use of artificial intelligence beyond students and faculty to encompass the entire university's administrative functions.
According to Gachon University, from August 10 to 12, it conducted the '2026 Summer AI Administrative Capability Enhancement Training' for 48 staff members below the 7th grade level in the GAIA lecture hall of the AI library.
The training was designed to enable practical application of generative AI in administrative tasks, focusing on document writing, data analysis, information management, and task automation.
Professor Choi Jae-yong from the Department of Artificial Intelligence led the training, gradually introducing key features and applications of generative AI, including ChatGPT.
On the first day, participants learned the basic principles of generative AI, multimodal AI, and prompt writing, followed by hands-on practice applying AI to real administrative tasks such as writing official documents, emails, and reports.
The second day covered data analysis and organization using Excel, as well as analyzing meeting, survey, and work materials. Participants also practiced using NotebookLM to extract and organize necessary information from various sources.
On the final day, they learned about managing work materials using the ChatGPT project, performing computer and file-based tasks, scheduling, and utilizing automation features like GPTs.
Participants experienced how to incorporate generative AI throughout their work processes, from information gathering to website creation.
Gachon University has broadened the scope of AI utilization from the classroom to administrative settings through this training.
Earlier in February, the university conducted AI training for faculty, enhancing their capabilities in course design and evaluation using AI.
The university is also promoting educational innovation to help students use AI not just as a simple tool, but as a means for creative problem-solving and learning.
Students expressed optimism, stating that AI could transform not only classes but also their overall university experience.
They believe that the integration of AI into administrative tasks will streamline processes such as information retrieval and academic inquiries, ultimately improving efficiency for all university members.
Students particularly anticipate that effective AI use by administrative staff will reduce time spent on repetitive tasks, allowing for more direct support in areas like student counseling and academic guidance. One student remarked, 'If AI is utilized in both classes and university administration, the services students experience will become faster and more convenient. I believe it is important for all university members to develop the skills to use AI effectively.'
Looking ahead, Gachon University plans to expand AI training and related environments for all university members, including students, faculty, and staff, to continue fostering educational innovation and establishing an operational framework suited for the AI era.
