Over the past several years, DB Group has established a dedicated AI organization and advisory panel, and has operated practical task forces. This conference was held to share the group-wide AI promotion strategy developed so far and to highlight exemplary implementation cases by each affiliate, with the aim of significantly enhancing AX capabilities throughout the group.

During the reporting conference, concrete roadmaps and progress updates were presented for three major new business projects selected by the Group AI Advisory Panel and three task forces: ▲AI Data Centers, ▲AI Agents, and ▲AI Solutions.

First, with regard to the AI Data Center, participants discussed plans to actively leverage the group’s unused land with excellent location conditions and urban buildings to establish and operate AI model training data centers and edge data centers for real-time inference processing. For the AI Agent project, led by the AX Promotion Office in the IT division of DB INC, the group will introduce various customized platforms to improve overall enterprise productivity.

In the AI Solutions field, the conference highlighted achievements spanning both hardware and software. In hardware, the group is collaborating with the On-Device Research Center at Sungkyunkwan University—a national research university—on advanced AI semiconductor design and process technology development projects. On the software side, notable cases included DB Insurance's "AI OCR" project and the AI platform "Vecta," developed in-house by the IT division of DB INC and applied to insurance operations. Additionally, DB Group has completed investments in six leading AI technology venture companies through its investment business unit in the trading division to secure key solutions in advance.

A DB Group representative commented, "DB has a diversified business portfolio covering the system semiconductor foundry, fabless, and IT sectors, as well as trading, real estate development, finance, and insurance. By combining the advanced technological capabilities of our IT and semiconductor affiliates with the abundant data accumulated in finance and manufacturing operations, we intend to establish a unique competitive edge to lead the next-generation AI market."
