On Jan. 2, Insurance Institute President Ha Tae-kyung said in a New Year's address that the institute will accelerate innovation in next-generation finance education by establishing an artificial intelligence (AI) subsidiary.
Ha said the goal is to embed AI across the entire education process, including an AI learning management system (LMS), AI test item generation, and personalized course recommendations, and added that the institute will also propose a new learning model that combines a learning token system so customers can study while generating revenue.
Ha said the institute has already carried out concrete preparations, including internal approval procedures, and will present a specific business model in the first half of this year that includes an AI test item generation system and an AI learning platform, adding that, through this, the Insurance Institute will establish itself as both a testbed for AI education and a standard-setting body.
Ha also said the institute will play a pioneering role in crypto finance education and pilots, adding that the institute will introduce crypto payments for tuition in the first half of this year. Crypto payments will be processed through X402, and if a won stablecoin is introduced, it will be actively used for payments.
Ha went on to say the institute will introduce a "micro scholarship" system that links mobile education with AI quizzes and refunds part of the tuition, and added that, furthermore, by issuing the institute's own "learning token," it will build an education ecosystem in which the industry uses the token to access the institute's content and applies it as employee scholarships.
