Jeonbuk National University (JBNU) will pilot a multi‑LLM‑based generative AI service to strengthen the university community's AI utilization capabilities and to advance the campus as an AI-enabled campus.

JBNU announced that it will introduce a generative AI service that enables students, faculty, and staff to easily use the latest AI technologies by selecting from a variety of AI models on a single platform.

The service to be introduced goes beyond single‑model offerings. It features the ability to select and use a total of nine cutting‑edge AI models on one platform, including ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Grok, Llama, Gemma, Sait, and Solar. Users will be able to choose the optimal model according to their purpose, which is expected to mitigate the limitations or biases of specific models and produce more refined results.

JBNU opted to purchase service usage credits at the institutional level and provide them to members, rather than adopting individual subscription plans. This approach is expected to significantly reduce cost burdens compared with individual subscriptions while allowing active use of generative AI at a reasonable cost.

Use cases are wide ranging. Students can apply AI to various learning activities, including text Q&A, image generation, report writing, creative writing, code generation, and multilingual translation.

Faculty plan to integrate AI across teaching and research, including lecture material preparation, assessment item design, research requiring intensive computation, and summarization of large volumes of academic literature.

Staff are also expected to improve work efficiency by automating repetitive administrative tasks such as drafting documents, preparing event scenarios and meeting minutes, and producing various notices.

Furthermore, beyond simple conversational services, it is possible to build RAG‑based (search‑augmented generation) 'customized chatbots' that safely train on internal university data. The university will support members in creating task‑specific chatbots trained on complex academic regulations, scholarship guidance, administrative manuals, and similar materials. This will allow students to resolve academic and administrative queries 24 hours a day and enable faculty and staff to delegate repetitive inquiries to AI.

President Yang O‑bong emphasized, 'The key is to enable use of the latest AI models in an enhanced security environment,' and added, 'Guaranteeing an "AI basic right" so that AI services can be used regardless of economic circumstances is also an important objective.'

He continued, 'With the introduction of this generative AI service, we will substantially raise our members' AI utilization capabilities. Going forward, we will expand AI usage training and AI+X strategies across education, research, and administration to complete a university model that leads in AI.'
