Graduate School of Global Digital Innovation (GDI) Hosts 'AI⁺ Global Prosperity Forum 2026' The Graduate School of Global Digital Innovation (GDI) of KAIST will host the "AI⁺ Global Prosperity Forum 2026" on June 24 at the Chung Kunmo Conference Hall (5F), KAIST Academic Cultural Complex (E9). KAIST Graduate School of Global Digital Innovation (GDI) is carrying out the "ICT Global Specialized Convergence Talent Cultivation Program" supported by the Ministry of Science and ICT and the Institute of Information & Communications Technology Planning & Evaluation (IITP). Since the launch of the Global IT Technology Program (ITTP) in 2006, GDI has grown into South Korea's representative global digital talent fostering platform over the past 20 years, nurturing approximately 260 government officials, public institution experts, and industry leaders from over 80 countries. GDI serves as a vehicle for global cooperation, sharing Korea's digital innovation experience and policy know-how with the international community, and promoting various collaborative projects such as international joint research, policy cooperation, and digital transformation projects based on its global network. This forum, organized by GDI as part of the ICT Global Specialized Convergence Talent Cultivation Program under the theme 'Advancing Global AI Leadership Through Partnership and Innovation,' is designed to discuss global cooperation strategies for international partnership, digital transformation, and sustainable development in the AI era. The event is expected to bring together approximately 60 government officials, international organization experts, researchers, and industry leaders from around 30 countries across Asia, Africa, Latin America, the Middle East, and Europe. Notably, representatives from the African Development Bank (AfDB), the Ministry of Communications and Digital Affairs of Indonesia, and various foreign governments, public institutions, and international organizations will participate to share AI governance, digital transformation, innovation policies, and international cooperation cases. The forum will feature two main sessions: Session 1: Global AI Partnership and Collaboration Session 2: AI Policy, Governance, AI Innovation, and Applications Participants will discuss global cooperation models in the AI era, digital transformation in the public sector, and methods for establishing AI policy and governance frameworks. In addition, an 'AI⁺ Industry Showcase' featuring Korean AI and digital innovation enterprises alongside corporate exhibition booths will be operated simultaneously. Participating companies will introduce their innovative AI-based technologies and services, and seek opportunities for Proof of Concept (PoC), joint research, digital transformation projects, and overseas market expansion through business matching sessions with foreign government and public institution officials. This forum is highly anticipated to serve as a global platform connecting AI technology, policy, industry, and international cooperation, while sharing Korea's AI capabilities and digital innovation experiences with the world and creating practical cooperative outcomes such as international joint research and digital transformation projects. Seunghun Han, Head of the Graduate School of Global Digital Innovation, stated, "AI has moved beyond mere technology to become a core agenda for national development and international cooperation." He added, "We expect this forum to serve as a venue where policymakers, experts, and companies from around the world gather to explore future AI cooperation strategies and build new global partnerships." The forum is open to any researchers, students, and the general public interested in AI and global cooperation through pre-registration (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1QmYMqaD4uoT11NxUZb4ZSQBVgDxex5DJ3_4-eCoqgVI/edit). ※ Inquiries: KAIST Graduate School of Global Digital Innovation (gdi.adm@kaist.ac.kr / 042-350-6845)
