SK AX is collaborating with OpenAI to safely implement and operate generative artificial intelligence (AI) across corporate work environments, aiming to expand its enterprise AI business.
On May 14, SK AX announced that it has signed a service partnership agreement with OpenAI for enterprise AI business collaboration. Through this partnership, SK AX plans to provide AI utilization environments tailored to the specific work and security requirements of each company, based on OpenAI's 'ChatGPT Enterprise.'
The signing ceremony was attended by Kim Wan-jong, President of SK AX, and Anthony Russell, Head of Partnerships for OpenAI in the Asia-Pacific region, along with executives from both companies who discussed collaboration strategies.
ChatGPT Enterprise is a service optimized for corporate environments, offering enhanced security and privacy features. It can analyze vast amounts of advanced data documents and increase the scope of business applications through customization. SK AX intends to integrate and operate this service in line with corporate systems and workflows to enhance the effectiveness of AI utilization.
Kim Wan-jong stated, "We will not just introduce AI but will initiate an AI transformation that redesigns internal structures, work processes, and governance through AI integration. Our collaboration with OpenAI will realize 'AI augmentation' that makes the work of people and companies more valuable."
Anthony Russell emphasized, "For the value of ChatGPT Enterprise to be realized, it is crucial that it operates in accordance with each company's work systems and flows, based on security and data control. SK AX is a partner capable of applying AI to real work, thanks to its long-standing understanding and experience with industry-specific systems and data structures."
As companies increasingly adopt AI across their operations, the enterprise AI market is growing. According to the IT industry, competition in the enterprise AI market among big tech companies like Google, Microsoft, and Amazon is intensifying.
Recently, OpenAI established a new organization to support enterprise AI and invested $4 billion (approximately 5.9 trillion won) to create a joint venture for AI deployment, focusing on strengthening its competitiveness in the enterprise AI market.
Consequently, there is growing interest in enhancing work efficiency through AI, as well as concerns about security. The use of 'shadow AI,' where internal members utilize AI in their work without separate security and management systems, has emerged as a new risk.
SK AX plans to combine the AI utilization environment based on ChatGPT Enterprise with its capabilities in designing, building, and operating industry-specific systems to enhance overall productivity and address data security concerns.
A representative from SK AX remarked, "This collaboration will be a significant turning point in applying generative AI to real business and accelerating the AX transformation across the organization. Based on the AI technology capabilities and business experience that SK AX has accumulated, we will elevate the execution capabilities of our corporate clients' AX (AI transformation)."
