Busan Hosts Global AI Bootcamp

In a move to foster technological growth, the city of Busan is gearing up to host the 'Global AI Bootcamp in BUSAN' on March 8th, 2024, at the Busan Big Data Innovation Center. This event, put together in partnership with Busan Techno Park, brings together a notable group of Microsoft's Most Valuable Professionals (MVPs) and top figures in the data and Artificial Intelligence (AI) sectors. It represents a valuable chance for participants to gain advanced knowledge and skills from leading experts in technology.

The Global AI Bootcamp, an initiative that began in 2018, has been annually convening in cities worldwide, offering the latest lectures, workshops, and hands-on activities in the AI sector. Busan's participation for another year underscores the city's commitment to embracing the future of technology. This year's edition is part of a global series taking place across 93 major cities in Asia, Europe, the Americas, and Africa throughout March.

Highlighting the event will be presentations on groundbreaking generative AI technologies like ChatGPT, DALL-E, and Copilot, along with discussions on leveraging GitHub Copilot for data analysis. Moreover, the bootcamp will explore practical applications of Microsoft's generative AI technologies, including Azure OpenAI, paving the way for innovative uses in various fields.

The event is open to all citizens, with registration available on the '2024 Global AI Bootcamp in BUSAN' official website. In conjunction with the bootcamp, the Busan Big Data Innovation Center will also host the '2024 Business Project Briefing'. This parallel event will detail upcoming initiatives like BUSAN DATA WEEK 2024 and DX Bootcamps, offering valuable insights into the local data industry ecosystem and various support programs designed to foster industry growth and talent development.

The establishment of the Busan Big Data Innovation Center last year was a strategic move to cultivate a self-sustaining data ecosystem based on a specialized data economy foundation. Through initiatives like business planning, venture discovery, and corporate development, alongside academia-industry cooperation for talent cultivation, the center is pivotal in advancing Busan's data industry.
