LG Display Accelerates Company-Wide AI Transformation with 'AX SQUAD'

1:1 Coaching Between Practitioners and AI Experts
Over 450 Projects Accumulated, About 190 Automated

LG Display is accelerating its company-wide artificial intelligence (AI) transformation (AX) by promoting the execution-focused project 'AX SQUAD,' which empowers employees to directly develop and apply AI programs to their work.

On September 13, LG Display announced that it is operating the 'AX SQUAD' program, where practitioners from each business division identify challenging or repetitive tasks in their work as AI projects and, with coaching from AI experts, solve them using AI tools.

The core of AX SQUAD is the tailored one-on-one collaboration between practitioners, who are most familiar with on-site issues, and in-house AI experts from the AX group who possess professional expertise. Even employees who are not accustomed to using AI can, through coaching, create highly practical and executable outcomes themselves.

To actively support the AX transformation, LG Display has developed its own in-house code agent, 'HI-D CODE.' This provides an environment where employees can safely utilize company data, which is subject to strict security controls.

Various applications developed by employees through the AX SQUAD are shared on the company's internal app marketplace, the 'HI-D Agent Hub,' enabling all employees to easily download and immediately utilize them in their work.

The total number of accumulated projects carried out through the AX SQUAD has reached around 450 to date. In the manufacturing sector, automation has been achieved for approximately 190 AX projects, including a program to streamline defect classification; in the development sector, optical simulation tools; and in the human resources sector, member survey systems.

Since last year, LG Display has been promoting AX innovation focused on manufacturing and development, and from the second half of this year, it is expanding these efforts to non-manufacturing and business support areas such as procurement/supply chain, customer support, finance/management, and sales/marketing.

An LG Display official stated, "AX SQUAD is a company-wide AI innovation initiative in which employees, who previously remained mere AI users, now directly participate in everything from project planning to execution," adding, "Through work innovation and AI integration involving all employees, we will accelerate our transformation into a technology-driven company."
