About Us

An AI convergence platform where industry, academia, research institutes and government work together

Message from the Chairman

Welcome to the Korean Association for the Artificial Intelligence Industry.

We stand at the center of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, entering an era of transformation driven by artificial intelligence. AI is more than technological progress: it has become the core engine of industrial innovation, balanced regional development and national competitiveness.

The Association was founded on the achievements that the Taean-gun AI Convergence Industry Promotion Agency has built over the past five years, including AI-based healthcare, climate and health monitoring, and regional industry demonstration projects. By combining the expertise of public institutions with the innovative capabilities of the private sector, we are taking a new leap toward the industrialization of AI convergence technology and the creation of a sustainable ecosystem.

Beyond a research and development organization, the Association will grow into a platform where industry, academia, research institutes and government work together. From training AI professionals and supporting the digital transformation of regional industries to AI ethics and policy research and international cooperation, we aim to build a future in which AI enriches people’s lives and makes a tangible contribution to regions and industries.

Change always brings new opportunities. Amid the great wave of artificial intelligence, the Association will serve as a compass for innovation and design a sustainable future together with our members.

We ask for your continued interest and participation.

Thank you.
