SKC Establishes AI Task Force to Accelerate AI Transformation

SKC is accelerating its artificial intelligence (AI) transformation efforts. The company announced on June 26 that it has launched a dedicated organization to promote AI initiatives across the company.
SKC has established the 'AI Frontier Task Force' (TF), which reports directly to the CEO, to oversee the company's AI transformation efforts. Officially launched last month, this task force includes members from SKC and its affiliates, such as SK Nexilis, SK PIC Global, ISC, Absolix, and SK Livio.
The AI Frontier TF will identify and enhance AI-related projects linked to business operations, collaborating with external experts to lead the practical implementation of AI. To address challenges faced by employees during the AI adoption process, the task force plans to establish clear guidelines for AI usage.
In addition to operating the dedicated organization, SKC will create an environment conducive to AI utilization. The company is considering the introduction of generative AI solutions, such as corporate ChatGPT, alongside its existing specialized internal agent, A.Biz, to build infrastructure that enables employees to leverage AI in their work.
SKC will also enhance its AI training programs. The company plans to expand its AI utilization training, which began last year, into a tailored 'AI Leadership' course for executives and team leaders. Furthermore, employees will be given practical learning opportunities to identify and execute AI transformation projects, fostering in-house AI experts.
A SKC representative stated, "AI is an unstoppable trend that is already changing the paradigm across industries and has become a key criterion for determining a company's future competitiveness. We aim to accelerate our AI transformation and achieve tangible results through the operation of the dedicated organization, the creation of an AI-friendly environment, and the enhancement of employee capabilities."
Meanwhile, SKC's AI transformation aligns with SK Group's broader strategy for company-wide AI integration. Under the direction of Chairman Chey Tae-won, SK Group is focused on incorporating AI across its major subsidiaries in manufacturing, energy, semiconductors, and telecommunications to enhance productivity and profitability.
