KT ran a hands-on education program with the Seoul Metropolitan Government for elementary school students to learn artificial intelligence (AI) technology and ethics together.
KT said on the 23rd that it held the "AI Future Camp with KT and the Seoul Metropolitan Government" on the 22nd at the Seoul Robot AI Science Museum in Dobong District, Seoul, for 100 elementary school students in the city.
The participating students were divided into four groups of 25 and experienced five programs covering AI technology and ethics in a rotation format. At AI Station, a mobile AI experiential classroom operated by KT, they learned AI technology and ethics, and through AICE Future, a block-coding course linked to the AICE AI certification, they studied AI principles.
They then listened to a docent tour of the Seoul Robot AI Science Museum's "Thinking Robots and Questioning Humans" exhibition and tried the Picabot Museum, where a robot arm draws pictures. In the AI-based crime prevention class conducted by the Seoul Dobong Police Station, they learned everyday digital safety rules.
Meanwhile, since 2023, KT has expanded AI and digital ethics civic education for elementary and middle school students in cooperation with regional offices of education and local governments nationwide. The cumulative number of participants reached about 170,000 as of last year.
