On September 18, GS Corporation announced that it had signed a “Mutual Cooperation Agreement to Lead On-Site Safety for Small and Medium Enterprises and AI Transformation” with Korea Electric Power Corporation at the KEPCO Art Center in Seocho-gu, Seoul.

The signing ceremony was attended by Jina Kim, Executive Director at GS Corporation, and Jungsu Yoo, Head of the Small and Medium Venture Business Office at Korea Electric Power Corporation.

This agreement was initiated to create a safe working environment for KEPCO’s partner SMEs, strengthen their AI capabilities, and lay the foundation for mutual growth.

Under the agreement, the two companies will work together to identify partner SMEs and promote the distribution of AIR (AI Risk Assessment); jointly plan and operate SME AX competency enhancement programs; and establish a performance management system for collaborative projects.

AIR is a safety management AI agent developed by GS on-site staff. When users input work information, the AI analyzes risk factors and safety measures to generate a risk assessment report. AIR has been applied to more than 250 sites, improving the efficiency of safety management work.

Korea Electric Power Corporation will identify participating SMEs, select pilot sites for AIR implementation, and support the advancement of the initiative. GS Corporation will serve as KEPCO’s AX execution partner, overseeing AIR implementation as well as the planning and operation of the AX competency enhancement program.

GS’s AX platform “MISO” will be used in the AX competency enhancement program. Alongside AIR deployment, the two companies plan to integrate AI training to strengthen field application capabilities among partner SMEs.

They also plan to develop new collaborative models linking SME on-site safety and AI transformation.

Jina Kim, Executive Director, stated, “I believe KEPCO’s foundation of trust and hands-on knowledge with its partner SMEs, combined with GS’s accumulated experience in field-centered innovation, will create real and meaningful change.”

GS has been operating a variety of programs to foster an AI and digital transformation culture, centered around its innovative organization “52g (Open Innovation GS).” Recently, these initiatives have expanded to include partners and SMEs as well.
