Krafton has officially declared its transition to an 'AI-first' company. During the 'KRAFTON LIVE TALK' internal session held on the 23rd, the leadership shared their mid-to-long-term roadmap under the theme: 'Transitioning to an AI-First Company: The Future of Work, the Firm, and the Individual.'

CEO Chang-han Kim stated, "Starting today, Krafton is moving toward an AI-driven management structure where 'Agentic AI' handles tasks, allowing our members to focus on creative output and complex problem-solving." He added, "We will leap forward as a company that leverages AI to promote employee growth and expand the scope of our organizational challenges."

'AI-first' positions AI as the core and primary means for problem-solving. This strategy aims to accelerate corporate value growth by boosting productivity across the board. Krafton plans to secure future growth engines by using 'Agentic AI' to expand individual roles and organizational challenges.

To support this, Krafton is investing approximately 100 billion KRW to build a GPU cluster. This infrastructure will support complex tasks requiring sophisticated inference and iterative planning, serving as the foundation for implementing 'Agentic AI.' Krafton plans to use this infrastructure for workflow automation, R&D, and strengthening in-game AI services. By the second half of 2026, the company aims to complete its integrated AI platform and automation infrastructure, including AI-linked workflows, an 'Agentic AI' management platform, and a data standardization system.

From 2026, Krafton intends to allocate an annual budget of approximately 30 billion KRW to actively support staff in utilizing various AI tools. This is more than ten times the scale of their previous AI service support, representing a practical measure to strengthen company-wide AI capabilities.

To internalize this 'AI-first' approach, Krafton is also overhauling its HR and organizational systems. New programs will be established, and existing policies will be reorganized around AI. The execution strategy will focus on three pillars: establishing an AI-first culture, innovating workflows and organizational structures, and providing new challenges and growth opportunities.

CEO Kim concluded, "Through this AI-first strategy, Krafton will expand growth opportunities for individual members and broaden user-centric creative attempts. We will lead AI innovation across the gaming industry and set a benchmark for global game companies by establishing operational standards centered on AI."
