With the advent of the era of the 4th industrial revolution, there is an urgent need to nurture AI specialists around the world, including Korea. In order to meet these demands, Yonsei University established the Graduate School of Artificial Intelligence in 2019 (50 students for master's/doctoral programs are selected every year), and then established the Department of Artificial Intelligence, an undergraduate department, in 2021. The Department of Artificial Intelligence at Yonsei University is a new department belonging to the Sinchon Campus, which recruits the first freshmen (20 students) in 2022, and aims to cultivate the world's best experts in the field of "Artificial Intelligence," a key technology for future industries. To this end, we provide systematic education on the latest artificial intelligence technologies such as machine learning, big data, computer vision, robotics, and natural language processing on the basis of basic curriculum such as computer programming, mathematics, algorithms, and statistics. Furthermore, it will play a major role in AI convergence education with various other major fields belonging to Yonsei University, the largest university in Korea, and establish itself as the center of AI education and research throughout the school.
By overcoming the limitations of existing AI technologies, we are focusing our research efforts on the development of core AI capabilities in three directions: LEarning, Architecture, and Perception with the goal of “Developing lightweight and efficient AI core source technology that cooperates with humans and uses knowledge and cognition” and 30 related AI core subjects are opened and reflected in the curriculum
Yonsei University, as a comprehensive university, focuses on four AI+X (Medicine, Engineering, financial Service, Humanity) application areas to maximize its strengths in securing a diverse and rich foundation for AI applied research such as medicine, engineering, business, and humanities. +X Convergence research is conducted and AI convergence courses are opened for all students.
The demand for AI talent is rapidly increasing worldwide, and students who graduate from the Department of Artificial Intelligence can choose various career paths. It is easy to start a business that utilizes AI developers and researchers, or talents, and it is possible to enter an AI graduate school to develop professionalism.
