The National Data Agency visited a data technology company to discuss AI-based administrative innovation and the direction of AI transformation in the public sector.
On September 22, Director Ahn Hyung-jun of the National Data Agency visited the headquarters of Big Value, located in Seongdong-gu, Seoul, to examine examples of autonomous organization operations using AI agents and to exchange views on revitalizing the data industry and innovating data operations.
During the visit, Big Value introduced its internally developed autonomous organization, 'Bokdeokbang Company,' and demonstrated how AI agents perform actual work. This model operates with separate AI agents responsible for five functions: decision-making, customer service, marketing, quality inspection, and operations, all without human employees.
The National Data Agency aimed to explore the feasibility of applying AI agent-based work automation in the public sector through this demonstration. Big Value anticipates that future corporate operations will shift towards a model where humans set direction and take responsibility, while AI agents handle simple and repetitive tasks.
During the meeting, the importance of establishing a policy data infrastructure for AI transformation in the public sector and developing data standards and quality management systems was also discussed.
Additionally, the agency shared experiences related to data refinement and AI transformation concerning its ongoing projects, including the 'AI-friendly Statistical Metadata (Ontology) Construction' and 'Statistical Specialized AI Data Management System Construction,' and discussed collaboration directions between the public and private sectors.
Director Ahn stated, 'By directly observing Big Value's use of AI agents, I was able to confirm how AI can be utilized in actual work environments. We will strengthen the data foundation supporting government-wide AI utilization by referencing private sector AX experiences and data management technologies.' He added, 'We will consider the data-driven AX strategies presented on-site in establishing data standards and quality management systems, and seek ways to support companies in creating new added value using national statistical data.'
The National Data Agency plans to continue public-private cooperation aimed at innovating statistical services and revitalizing the data industry ecosystem through the use of AI.
