Gyeonggi Province and the Gyeonggi Business and Science Accelerator on Wednesday launched the 'Gyeonggi 2026 AI Digital Learning Center' program, aimed at enhancing digital literacy and artificial intelligence capabilities among regional residents.
The program is designed as an inclusive educational platform, enabling people facing difficulties in using digital technologies to receive training in AI and basic digital skills in a convenient and practical way. Officials stated that the initiative reflects the growing demand for accessible digital education as technologies become increasingly integrated into daily life.
This year, the province plans to provide personalized training for approximately 150,000 participants, including digitally vulnerable groups, youth, middle-aged adults, and small business owners. Courses are adapted based on generation and proficiency level, allowing learners to work with materials matching their experience.
The program covers a wide range of topics, from basic digital applications such as smartphone use, kiosk navigation, and mobile financial services, to more advanced areas including generative AI, digital literacy, and digital ethics. Participants can choose beginner, intermediate, and advanced level courses, providing a step-by-step learning path.
A key focus of the 2026 program is practical generative AI training. Participants will gain hands-on skills in AI-powered document creation, image generation, and workflow automation. Additional courses for youth and entrepreneurs will cover online business development, content creation, and AI-powered social media marketing.
To ensure accessibility, the program also includes basic courses for residents unfamiliar with digital devices, covering core smartphone functions, access to government services, and use of unmanned ordering systems. Outreach efforts will be expanded through mobile classrooms and an 'Education Bus' service targeting elderly residents and those in areas with poor digital coverage, helping to reduce regional and generational gaps in digital technology access.
