According to the association on June 23, the founding seminar titled "Responses to Sovereign AI in Urban Planning" will take place on June 29 from 3 PM to 5 PM at the auditorium on the fifth floor of the Gangbuk Workers' Welfare Center in Mapo-gu, Seoul.

The seminar aims to discuss the impact of advancements in AI technology on the field of urban planning and potential applications.

Lee Seung-il, the association's president, will deliver opening remarks. Following that, Choi Min-seong, president of Delco Realty Group, will present on the topic of "Responses to Sovereign AI in Urban Planning."

The session will be chaired by Sun Kwon-soo, president of the Seoul branch of the Korean Urban Planners Association, with Kang Seong-pil, planning director of the Seoul Metropolitan Government, participating as a designated discussant.

After the presentations and discussions, attendees will engage in a free discussion on strategies and policy directions for utilizing AI in urban planning.

Choi stated, "Sovereign AI is a crucial area that will become an important driver of future growth in our country. We are currently exploring ways to integrate Sovereign AI into urban planning, starting with Seoul. Our goal is to incorporate the fragmented key elements of Sovereign AI into local government urban planning in a convergent manner."
