From defect classification to surveys using AI... LG Display Co., Ltd. launches 'AX Squad'

[Financial News] LG Display Co., Ltd. is accelerating its company-wide AI transformation (AX) by spearheading the 'AX Squad,' in which field employees directly utilize Artificial Intelligence (AI) to improve their work processes. With the aim of using AI to solve problems employees encounter in their actual work, it has been reported that approximately 450 projects have been identified to date.
According to LG Display Co., Ltd. on the 13th, 'AX Squad' is an execution-oriented company-wide project in which working-level employees from each business unit directly identify problems or repetitive tasks encountered in their actual work as AI projects and develop solutions using AI tools. Expert AI professionals from AX Squad participate as coaches to provide support, enabling all employees—including general office staff, development personnel, and production staff—to utilize AI to solve these tasks.
The core of LG Display Co., Ltd.'s 'AX Squad' lies in collaboration between working-level employees, who most accurately grasp on-site issues, and experts familiar with AI tools. Through coaching from AI experts within AX Squad, employees produce deliverables that are highly practical and actionable. As employees directly implement improvement plans using AI, the 'AX Squad' is expected to internalize AI utilization capabilities within the field, leading to successful case studies that will spread AX throughout the organization.
Actual results are also emerging. With the entire LG Display Co., Ltd. organization participating in the AX Squad, the cumulative number of projects alone has reached over 450. Approximately 190 AX projects have been automated, including a defect classification simplification program in the manufacturing sector, an optical simulation tool in the development sector, and an employee survey system in the HR sector.
