NHN is accelerating its internal AI transformation (AX), including holding an event where in-house working-level staff share their expertise in using artificial intelligence (AI).

NHN said Monday that it held "Agentic Day," a technology-sharing event for employees, at PlayMuseum in its Pangyo office in Seongnam, Gyeonggi Province, on the 2nd of this month. About 600 employees from three entities — NHN, NHN Cloud, and NHN Dooray — participated in the event. The event was divided into three zones: presentations, demo booths, and an AI tutorial zone. Employees listened to presentations of interest or personally experienced AI agent-based services.

In his keynote presentation, Yang Chul-woong, NHN's Chief Technology Officer (CTO), said, "An environment where AI safely connects all in-house data and knowledge, and the security that supports this, are essential conditions for moving to the next stage." He added, "We will focus on enhancing security from the development stage and provide customers with safer products and services."

In the presentation sessions, special sessions by entity leaders were held ahead of project presentations by each entity. Kim Yun-hee, director of NHN's Game Convergence Lab, said in a presentation titled "From One Line of Natural Language to One Analysis": "Even a planner who doesn't know how to write queries can now handle three to four days' worth of data analysis in 30 minutes with a single line of natural language." She recommended, "However, considering AI-specific anomalies such as hallucinations, it is important to establish clear principles for the areas where humans must intervene."

Cho Young-il, head of NHN Cloud's AI Development Center, shared methods for automating and standardizing security vulnerability checks with AI at the organizational level, under the theme "Building a Harness for Development Team Leaders." He also unveiled for the first time a demo version of an in-house shared security vulnerability check service being developed by NHN Cloud's Security Development Lab. This service uses AI tokens only in the priority-determination stage, and will be applied first to NHN Cloud before being expanded to all group companies.

At the demo booths, 15 booths demonstrated team-specific AI agent programs, while in the AI tutorial zone, employees participated in hands-on sessions creating their own outputs using tools developed by each team.

Meanwhile, NHN adopted Anthropic's AI tool "Claude" company-wide on the 1st of this month, expanding its AI services — previously centered on development organizations — to all employees. In addition, the company operates "AI School," a regular in-house training program, and "Playground," an office AI platform. In March, it held "NHN AI Sprinton," which derives outputs using AI within a limited time, for the first time.
