✦ AI Summary

POSCO DX will expand its efforts to structure internal work knowledge and know-how using ontology technology and apply it to agentic AI.

POSCO DX and POSCO Technology Investment contributed to the 'POSCO DX Corporate Venture Capital (CVC) New Technology Investment Association,' and through the association invested KRW 2 billion in AI startup Enhance.

POSCO DX and Enhance signed a business agreement to build AI agents specialized in work execution, and the POSCO Group plans to expand into industrial sites based on its experience applying AgentOS.

POSCO DX will expand its efforts to structure internal work knowledge and know-how using ontology technology, and will pursue applying agentic AI to that structured knowledge and know-how. The company plans to use the technology to structure the experience of seasoned employees that is difficult to clearly capture in documents or systems, and to structure how exceptional situations are handled and the criteria used for judgment.

To this end, POSCO DX and POSCO Technology Investment contributed to the 'POSCO DX Corporate Venture Capital (CVC) New Technology Investment Association,' and through the association invested KRW 2 billion in AI startup Enhance. POSCO DX and Enhance also signed a business agreement to build AI agents specialized in work execution.

Enhance developed the enterprise AI operating system 'AgentOS.' 'AgentOS' is based on an ontology connection between corporate data and business context, linking data distributed across multiple systems according to business meaning and relationships. This approach helps AI agents understand work flows and context.

POSCO DX will seek to reflect this structured content in AI agents. The goal is to go beyond information retrieval and question answering and instead support judgment and execution in actual business processes.

Before this investment, the POSCO Group applied AgentOS to back-office work within the group and verified its potential for use. Based on those verification results, it has also been developing AI agents such as one for financial profitability analysis, and is reviewing whether those AI agents can be applied to actual work.

The POSCO Group and Enhance plan to expand the experience gained in back-office work to industrial sites such as production, facilities, and logistics. POSCO DX has accumulated business experience in the steel and logistics sectors, while Enhance has ontology and agentic AI technologies. Accordingly, the two companies plan to combine POSCO DX's business experience with Enhance's technology to develop industry-specific AI solutions.

POSCO DX said ontology-based agentic AI capabilities that can understand work knowledge and tacit knowledge will serve as a foundation for advancing enterprise AX. It added that it plans to combine Enhance's technology with POSCO DX's industrial domain capabilities and expand AI services that can be applied to customers' work.
