Women working in information technology without a background in artificial intelligence will get a chance to learn everything from how to communicate with developers to how to plan and design AI services themselves. The program is expected to help women weighing a career shift or an expansion of their professional scope, by building practical skills for applying AI to their own work.
The Seoul Foundation of Women and Family said on the 23rd that it will hold the "Women IT's AX Seminar" for women working in IT at 7 p.m. on the 30th in the multipurpose hall on the first basement level of Seoul Family Plaza in Seoul's Dongjak District.
The seminar, co-hosted with the Korean Federation of Women's Science and Technology Associations, will be held under the theme "Expanding Boundaries With AI."
In the first lecture, Park Yun-jeong, business development lead at Common Computer, will discuss how to collaborate with developers and strategies for applying AI technology to actual businesses and services. Her session will cover communicating effectively with developers within an organization and turning AI technology into concrete business and product requirements.
Kim Han-eol, chief executive of Cosmos Works, will speak on how non-developers can design AI services. He will introduce ways to define workplace problems from an AI perspective and translate them into service plans and prototypes, focusing on AI applications that non-developers can use in their actual jobs.
The lectures will be followed by a talk concert hosted by Lee Hye-won, a project manager at a global content services company. Speakers and participants will share their experiences using AI and the challenges they face at work, and discuss the skills needed for AI transformation and possible career paths ahead.
The event is the last of three seminars planned for this year. Sessions held in May and July, under the themes "Coexistence and Building Competitiveness in the AI Era" and "Problem-Solving Skills in the AI Era," drew about 240 participants in total.
Applications can be submitted on the Seoul Foundation of Women and Family website and will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.
"As AI transformation accelerates, the ability to understand technology and apply it to one's own work is becoming important for everyone, regardless of their field of study," said Park Jung-sook, chief executive of the Seoul Foundation of Women and Family. "We hope this becomes an occasion for women in the workforce to connect AI to their own jobs, discover new possibilities and expand their careers."
