Background to the Initiative

In recent years, AI technologies, particularly generative AI, have gained traction as crucial tools for enhancing operational efficiency and creating new value. Their application within the field of quality assurance has rapidly expanded, encompassing areas such as automated testing, software design support, and data analysis. However, to maximize the benefits of AI integration, the presence of skilled individuals who can understand and leverage these technologies is indispensable.

Veriserve has honed its expertise in quality assurance over many years, emphasizing the fusion of AI technology and human capability. The company's initiative seeks to foster an environment where all employees can effectively employ AI as a powerful asset in their work.

Key Initiatives

The company is selecting AI frontrunners from various departments to participate in a robust development program that includes on-the-job training (OJT), workshops, and attendance at international conferences. This hands-on approach aims to enhance practical skills and create successful outcomes with AI integration across different divisions, with AI leaders playing a pivotal role in fostering the next generation of talent.

2. Company-wide 'Generative AI Fundamentals Training'

Building upon the training content initiated this fiscal year, the new curriculum will encompass foundational AI theories, practical prompt engineering, application exercises, and basic AI application development. This training is designed to equip every employee, regardless of their technical background, with the skills necessary to confidently utilize AI technologies in their daily tasks.

3. Comprehensive Education Framework for AI Talent Development

Veriserve will implement a structured educational system capable of training hundreds of AI professionals each year. By integrating expertise from education and research departments, and emphasizing a curriculum that focuses on practical outcomes and internal certification, the organization aims to continuously nurture AI talent.

4. Knowledge Sharing and Teaching Community

Employees who have completed their training will form internal communities, proactively organizing study sessions and workshops. This initiative will facilitate knowledge sharing on the latest AI developments and practical insights, thereby enhancing the organization’s overall AI literacy.

Future Efforts

Veriserve intends to further elevate AI talent development into a corporate culture where all employees can harness AI capabilities. Key strategies moving forward include:

- Establishing clear definitions of AI proficiency across job roles, allowing employees to easily navigate and engage with their learning pathways.
- Leveraging generative AI applications to innovate new services and businesses in quality assurance, development, and support roles.
- Taking a socially responsible approach by considering the ethical, legal, and diversity aspects in the cultivation of next-generation AI talent.
