The AI, a media outlet specializing in artificial intelligence, announced on the 23rd that it will hold a 'THE AI 5th Anniversary Publication Commemoration and Special Forum' on July 1 at the Korea Press Center in Jung-gu, Seoul, in collaboration with the AI Private Special Committee of the Korea Policy Association. The event is held to discuss the new government’s 'AI policy' in a context where the importance of artificial intelligence (AI) is increasing.
The event will be divided into three parts. In the first part, a publication commemorating the book titled 'THE AI Asks, The Future Answers' will be held to celebrate THE AI's 5th anniversary. This book was planned in the era of 'AI transition,' where AI permeates all areas from industry to daily life. THE AI included the thoughts and views of 75 practitioners from corporations, developers, policy designers, and global scholars regarding the question, 'Where is AI now and where is it heading?' It is designed to help not only technology experts but also policy designers, educators, creators, marketers, planners, and all workers living today understand the trends and direction of the AI era.
In the second part, a special discussion on the new government's AI policy direction will be led by the AI Private Special Committee of the Korea Policy Association. The panel will include Dongwon Kim, a reporter from THE AI, as the moderator, along with Donghwan Kim, CEO of 42Maru; Jihwan Park, CEO of Think4B; Sangdeok Seo, CEO of S2W; Minhyung Kim, CEO of Common Computer; Junwoo Hyun, CEO of i-Scream media; and Youngyong Park, CTO of J&P Medi.
The third part will provide a reception for networking among attendees. It will be a time for exchange and open discussions.
Minsu Hwang, CEO of THE AI, noted that 'this event will be an opportunity to convey the honest stories of private AI corporations at a time when ministers and senior officials from AI corporations have emerged' and expressed hope that it will serve as a foundation for the government and private sector to seriously consider the development of AI in Korea.
