Artificial intelligence (AI) has evolved beyond mere technological advancement to become a critical force shaping national survival and the future industrial landscape. We are entering an era where physical AI and large language models (LLMs) converge, driving a major transformation across industries.
Aju News Corporation will host the 'AI Ecosystem Innovation Forum' to establish the ABC (AI Business Channel) as a central hub for building the AI ecosystem in South Korea. This initiative aims to enhance the self-sustainability of the AI industry and envision a forward-looking ecosystem.
The forum will kick off on July 8 with the announcement of the ABC's launch. The ABC symbolizes the starting point for a new industrial media model that responds to the AI era. It aims to serve as a specialized platform that organically connects AI technology, industry, policy, investment, and the global market, contributing to the expansion of South Korea's AI industry ecosystem.
On July 9, the main event will feature Ryu Je-myung, the Second Vice Minister of Science and ICT, who oversees South Korea's AI policy. At a time when securing technological sovereignty is more crucial than ever, he will vividly present the government's national vision of positioning South Korea as one of the top three global AI powerhouses (G3) and outline bold policy support directions.
The forum will also include special lectures from leading experts at the forefront of global technological innovation. Professor Lee Sedol from UNIST, who made headlines during his historic matches with AlphaGo, will discuss 'Coexistence of Humans and AI,' providing insights into the current relationship between humanity and AI, as well as the path forward for coexistence and the unique creativity of humans.
Jung So-young, CEO of NVIDIA Korea, will present on 'The Future of Global AI Infrastructure,' discussing the trends in global infrastructure as seen from NVIDIA's perspective in the age of physical AI, and outlining essential innovation strategies for the AI ecosystem that South Korean companies need to adopt to remain competitive on the world stage.
We invite readers and industry stakeholders to take a keen interest in this forum, which will serve as a milestone for South Korea to stand tall on the global AI stage.
