What's the endgame? POSCO DX is targeting the "tacit knowledge" that skilled employees build through experience — decision-making criteria and ways of handling exceptions that documents rarely capture. The plan is to structure that know-how as a data asset AI agents can draw on, then expand from office work to production, equipment, and logistics.
