GS Engineering and Construction said on the 9th that it held an "AI recipe" competition to strengthen companywide capabilities in using artificial intelligence (AI). After introducing OpenAI's enterprise AI solution, "ChatGPT Enterprise," in Aug. as the first among domestic construction companies, this was the first internal event to share use cases.

The competition was organized to internally share cases where using AI led to actual gains in work efficiency. More than 50 AI use cases from the field were submitted, and Heads of Team from each department evaluated their usability, innovation, and scalability to select four final best cases, which were then demonstrated to all employees on the 8th.

At the "AI recipe" competition, ideas that automated repetitive tasks with AI—such as a function that automatically converts on-site document filenames to make them easier to organize—and enabled efficient data analysis drew strong responses from employees. A GS Engineering and Construction employee who took part in the AI recipe said, "By sharing cases of using AI efficiently in our work, the barrier to entry for using AI has been lowered."

GS Engineering and Construction plans to continue discovering and sharing best practices for using AI efficiently in work, starting with this competition. It also plans to strengthen AI-use training support programs based on the accumulated best practices, building a system that enables employees to work smarter.

Meanwhile, Huh Yoon-hong, CEO of GS Engineering and Construction, emphasized at this year's executives' workshop that "AI is no longer a matter of choice, but a matter of survival to adapt to and lead a changing environment." Since introducing ChatGPT Enterprise in Aug. as the first among domestic construction companies, GS Engineering and Construction plans to continuously expand an AI-centered work innovation model based on ongoing collaboration with OpenAI.
