The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism from Nov. 12-14 will host the AI Content Festival jointly with the Korea Creative Content Agency (KOCCA) at the multi-purpose exhibition and event hall The Platz of the convention center Coex in Seoul's Gangnam-gu District.

The ministry on Nov. 9 said the event will offer firsthand experiences with artificial intelligence (AI)-generated content while also supporting the commercial application of outstanding content and technologies.

New this year is a program to promote investment and collaboration among companies, with the aim to help businesses, which often struggle to find potential partners or identify market demand, explore new opportunities. The duration of lectures and panel discussions has also been expanded to three days.

A range of AI-generated content will feature fields like videos, music and games. The exhibition space will have four thematic zones: Story, Play, Make and Cross.

Hands-on activities and workshops will be available for visitors, creators and industry personnel. The event will also spotlight the achievements of support for AI content production and talent development initiatives led by the ministry and KOCCA.

The schedule of each program and participation information are available on the festival's official website (https://fo.o2meet.io/AICOFE/99148/index.do).

"For the potential of AI-driven content to translate into the growth and global expansion of the domestic content industry, practical creative expertise must align with market demand," KOCCA President Kim Yoon-ji said. "Our support will ensure that visitors can closely engage AI-powered content while also helping businesses and creators discover new investment and collaboration opportunities."
