Fourteen organizations related to education, childcare, and edutech in the Busan area have joined efforts to collaborate around an AI education platform.

The Women's Issues Research Institute at Silla University (President: Nam Sik Hur) announced on the 2nd that it participated in the opening ceremony of the AI Edu Tech education platform "AI Bookjeokbookjeok" in Yeonje-gu, Busan, on the 29th of last month, signed business agreements with related organizations, and discussed the direction of future education.

Fourteen organizations, including the Busan Metropolitan Office of Education, Dong-Eui University, and the Busan Metropolitan City Daycare Center Association, participated in this agreement. The participating organizations agreed to cooperate in the operation of the AI Edu Tech education platform and in revitalizing the local edutech industry.

The event was organized to create a lifelong learning ecosystem that encompasses all generations, from infants to seniors, based on AI Edu Tech. Universities, local governments, educational institutions, and related companies from the Busan area participated and discussed ways to boost the edutech ecosystem in Southeast Korea.

The Women's Issues Research Institute at Silla University participated in the opening ceremony of the AI Edu Tech education platform 'AI Bookjeok Bookjeok' held on the 29th of last month in Yeonje-gu, Busan, where it signed a memorandum of understanding with related organizations.

At the opening ceremony on the same day, former Senior Secretary for AI Future Planning at the Blue House, Ha Jungwoo, delivered a special lecture on "Future Strategies for Our Children in the Era of AI."

This was followed by a comprehensive discussion hosted by Professor Hong Seonghee from the Department of Child Studies at Dong-Eui University, on the topic, "The Era of AI Transformation: The Attitude of AI Sapiens Preparing for Future Education."

The discussion included participants such as Seo Jungsoo, head of the Women's Issues Research Institute at Silla University; Jeong Jooyoung, Dean of Academic Affairs at Dong-Eui University; Joo Banghyeon, CEO of Oneul Baeum; Park Kinam, Chairman of the Busan Metropolitan City Daycare Center Association; and Lee Seongwoong, Chairman of the Busan Information Technology Association.

Director Seo Jungsoo suggested that not only AI utilization skills but also human-centered competencies—such as critical thinking, creativity, communication and collaboration, care and empathy, citizenship, and ethics—should be fostered together.

She also pointed out that while AI can offer opportunities to improve efficiency and accessibility in education, it can also bring new issues such as excessive dependence by children and adolescents, information bias, and digital and AI gaps.

Director Seo stated, "Future education should go beyond merely teaching students how to use AI, and should help them critically evaluate information provided by AI, empathize with others, and grow into citizens who can be responsible for their own choices. The most important value that education must protect in the era of AI transformation is not technology itself, but people."

The Women's Issues Research Institute at Silla University plans to continue researching the impact of changes in the educational environment in the AI era on children, adolescents, families, and women, as well as pursuing community collaboration activities to promote human-centered AI utilization and to reduce educational disparities.
