The company plans to expand AI-agent training for all employees, introduce external generative AI tools, and host an AI hackathon to drive productivity gains through automation of routine tasks.
Lotte Group Chairman Shin Dong-bin participated in the company’s ‘CEO AI Academy’ on June 5-6, where he personally developed AI-powered services and agents to advance the conglomerate’s AI transformation. The two-day program gathered CEOs from 50 Lotte affiliates to align on AI strategies and explore business applications, emphasizing hands-on skills like vibe coding. The initiative follows Lotte’s commitment to embedding AI across operations, with plans to extend AI-agent training to all employees this year. The goal is to automate tasks such as data analysis and report writing, freeing staff to focus on higher-value work. To boost adoption, Lotte will introduce external generative AI tools in July and launch a groupwide ‘Lotte AI Hackathon’ to showcase innovative AI use cases. A follow-up ‘AI Transformation Camp’ for 150 AI and IT executives is scheduled for this week, focusing on sharing successful AI implementations under the theme ‘Core Value, Powered by AX.’ The sessions aim to refine business strategies for the emerging era of AI agents, reinforcing Lotte’s push for workplace innovation. Shin highlighted the need to accelerate AI skills development, stating that supporting employees in creating AI agents will drive transformative changes. The conglomerate’s broader AI push includes scaling automation to improve efficiency and productivity across its diverse affiliates.
