The CEO announces that AI Transformation (AX) will be central to LG Energy Solution’s long-term competitiveness, leveraging the company’s extensive IP, three decades of industry experience, and a highly skilled workforce.

AX is designed to reshape the company’s competitive position by integrating AI across its assets, including its patent portfolio, IP, and seasoned talent.

The plan centers on three core pillars—product development, materials development, and manufacturing operations—as the initial focus for AI deployment.

An enterprise AI platform will roll out in non-sensitive, non-strategic areas first, followed by phased expansion and large-scale AI training programs for employees.

An AI Governance Committee, chaired by the CEO and meeting monthly, will oversee AI adoption, security, and change management across the organization.

A formal governance structure will guide AX implementation, with ongoing reviews of adoption progress, security measures, and organizational change.

The company argues AI will not reduce jobs; instead, it will automate inefficient tasks and free employees to focus on higher-impact, real-work problems.

The announcement signals a broader, long-term commitment to AI-driven productivity gains and strengthened support systems for AX.

CEO Kim sets an ambitious productivity target of a 50% gain by 2028 through AX, revising the previous 30% by 2030 milestone to accelerate transformation.

The upgrade in the productivity target reflects sharper ambitions and a more aggressive rollout of AI across the business.

LG Energy Solution operates eight battery plants globally, with four more U.S. facilities planned to begin operations within the year.

The rollout will be a phased, well-supported initiative beneath strong leadership to ensure practical, problem-focused AI usage.
