Kangwon Land launched an ‘AX Leader’ program to drive company-wide digital conversion. The initiative involves selecting leaders from all departments to undergo intensive training in generative AI tools, such as ‘Vibe coding,’ and hosting expert lectures to foster an AI-centric corporate culture and data-driven decision-making. In a broader infrastructure context, KT is pursuing its ‘Next IT’ strategy to transition into an AX platform company. This involves modernizing its IT ecosystem through upgraded core systems and a next-generation private cloud. Additionally, KT is leading a consortium for the government-backed ‘Everyone’s AI’ project, acting as an ‘AI orchestrator’ to integrate domestic semiconductors, models, and cloud networks into a unified service. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-23: KT advances AI transformation through Next IT strategy and full-stack consortium KT is advancing its AI Transformation (AX) strategy through the ‘Next IT’ modernization plan and a domestic AI full-stack consortium for the ‘Everyone’s AI’ national project. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/kt-advances-ai-transformation-through-next-it-strategy-and-full-stack-consortium ### 2026-07-24: Kangwon Land launches AI‑focused ‘AX Leader’ program to drive digital transformation Kangwon Land rolls out an AI‑driven ‘AX Leader’ program, selecting staff across departments, conducting Vibe‑coding training, and hosting a Saltlux seminar to embed AI culture and boost digital competitiveness. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/kangwon-land-launches-aifocused-ax-leader-program-to-drive-digital-transformation --- Cite as: South Korean corporate AI transformation initiatives.
