《The Secret Book of Garcia》. How many talented people in our society can find their own way and solve when an inevitable mission is thrown. The Garcian Secret book asks this question. There was no need to summon Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, and there was a’era spirit’ at every turn of history. It can also be called a vocational ceremony. ‘What are the changes in the times that the Industrial Revolution initiated by artificial intelligence (AI) demands for Korea?’ The’Artificial Intelligence Future Forum’, which takes the first step of the march on the 17th, is the topic of digital transformation in the era of revolution.
“I hope that a forum of 10,000 AI experts will be born. Doesn’t it mean that Korea’s capacity will rise vertically. This hope of Naver AI Lab director Ha Jung-woo quickly brought together 150 AI experts scattered across universities, companies, and research institutes (applying to join at this moment). It became the coordinates of the AI Future Forum.
In the United States, there has been a regime change in which the Republican administration of Donald Trump becomes the Democratic administration of Joe Biden, but there are only two things that have not changed. These are’China’s check’ and’AI promotion’. These two are inseparable from each other. This is because the US-China conflict is intensifying with technological supremacy, and AI is at its core.
What strategic breakthrough will Korea find between the two AI powerhouses? Experts participating in the AI Future Forum agree that the answer to this question will determine the fate of future generations in Korea. Unlike diplomacy, in the world of technology,’strategic ambiguity’ that straddles powerful countries does not work. This is why Korea must be at the’strategic point’ of the global AI technology map. In the next 100 years of the new industrial revolution, Korea is the only way to take the role of a’game changer’.
The AI Future Forum is spontaneous. There was a reason. It was desperate to create an advanced AI innovation ecosystem that would show the imagination to the full. Experts met to see if the government was doing it right, and this meeting became a manpower to attract each other.
Historically, the side that won the technology competition was openness and cooperation. It is a strategy for US giant AI companies such as Google to become a global standard by calling the three. The need for openness and cooperation erupting in Korea became the driving force behind the creation of the forum.
“Responding to the global AI wave… It will become a platform for action to build an innovative ecosystem.”
The controversy over regulations going to the mountains over AI, which is about to blossom in Korea, is also a factor that has accelerated the launch of the forum. In Korea, which adheres to the positive regulation method rather than the negative, there is a high risk that the government’s AI ethics guidelines will change from’autonomy’ to’heteronomy’. Concerns are becoming reality. Based on the AI chatbot’achieve’ situation, some citizens and legal organizations are demanding that the deregulation of the’Data 3 Act’ be brought back to its origin and enact the AI regulation law. This is why AI ethics issues cannot be left only to politicians, bureaucrats, civic groups, and legal scholars.
The AI Future Forum supports the theory of interaction between technology and society, not technology determinism. We believe that humans are the subject of technological development. AI is still an evolving technology. Be on the lookout for unfounded anxiety and fear of AI. Firmly oppose AI crime and terror abuse. I agree with the evolution of social norms that can protect human freedom and dignity as data power grows. The forum plans to expand the horizon of understanding by communicating with everyone.
The AI Future Forum aims for’AI for social good’. Beyond their respective organizations, I will recognize social conflict issues such as jobs, welfare, education, environment, and energy that Korean society will face as my problems, and will actively work with the community to solve problems using AI. We recognize that this is not only the vocational consciousness of AI experts required by the times, but also a social responsibility.
Xi Jinping, who leads the great China, is shouting’Chinese dream’. In the United States, the former Trump administration has confronted “Make America Great Again”, and the current Biden administration is advocating “Build Back Better.” Will Korea be passively forced to change?
Summons’Garcia’s Secret Book’ again. You have to find your own way of survival. Now that the AI-footed Industrial Revolution is fiercely rushing, Dosan Ahn Chang-ho’s cry strikes his mind. “Let Koreans Change Korea.” The AI Future Forum will be a platform for its practice.
