As part of the Ama Town AI Implementation & Co-Creation Project, our member Dim is now based in Ama Town for a full year as a Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE), working closely with residents, local stakeholders, and exchange program participants to turn ideas into real, AI-driven solutions.
Dim is leading the day-to-day implementation on the island, supporting community dialogue, identifying local challenges, and connecting them to practical AI solutions.
At the same time, our Founder & CEO Jintae Kim is supporting the project through regular visits, providing strategic guidance, mentoring teams, and advising AI implementation at both the community and leadership levels.
Together, this on-the-ground + strategic support model enables us to move from discussion to execution.
Over the coming year, the work will focus on building the foundation for a new model of community-driven innovation:
▫hands-on AI support and consultation
▫regular trainings and office hours
▫monthly co-creation workshops
▫quarterly AI hackathons
▫turning local voices into real implementation
Starting from a small island community, we aim to help build a model of digital democracy that is locally grounded and globally relevant.
More updates from the island soon.
