IBK Industrial Bank announced on the 7th that it is launching a support system for small and medium-sized enterprises' AI transition (AX). The support is aimed at SMEs that are having difficulty adopting AI because of workforce and funding shortages, and the scope includes diagnosis, hands-on training, and follow-up assistance through on-site implementation.

In April, IBK Industrial Bank introduced the 'AI ACT Consulting' program to support SMEs in adopting generative AI. The 'AI ACT Consulting' program provides company-specific AI capability assessments and adoption support, and 45 companies had received benefits through last month.

IBK Industrial Bank also plans to hold the 'AI ACT Camp' for key personnel at SMEs at the IBK Chungju Training Institute from Nov. 23 to 25. The camp is designed around AI and will be run as a hands-on program for key decision-makers.

The 'AI ACT Camp' will operate as a three-stage workshop. In the first stage, participants will identify work inefficiencies and redesign processes; in the second stage, they will design the optimal division of roles between AI and people; and in the third stage, they will implement AI programs.

The bank plans to continue follow-up support for companies that complete the camp. The purpose is to reduce trial and error that may arise during practical implementation on the ground.

This support will be carried out through the bank's ongoing follow-up linkage with the 'AI ACT Consulting' program. The bank plans to continue close support until customized AI systems tailored to each company's environment are established.

IBK Industrial Bank said that adopting AI is an essential competitiveness factor that determines the survival and growth of SMEs. It also said it plans to actively support SMEs' AI transition through AI ACT-linked support that encompasses both consulting and hands-on camps.
