Intro
“More than 20 years ago experts predicted
that every company would become
an internet company. I’m predicting today that
every company will become an AI company,
not because they can, but because of
the must.”
This is what Arvind Krishna, the CEO of IBM
prophesied and it has come true.
Without a doubt, companies not using AI
technology will not survive and the gap
between AI companies and those not
using AI. Artificial Intelligence is being widely used
in diverse industries
like manufacturing, distribution, education, and finance.
So far, we have solely focused on
technological progress with big data and deep learning,
However, it is about
time the focus should be on the goal of “coexistence' of humans and AI.”
If we
fail to find ways how humans live with AI, AI is expected to lose its value.
Accordingly, the Financial News, Korea’s
first-class economy newspaper
and the Institute of Electronics and Information
Engineers (IEIE), the largest academic institution
in Korea, are jointly
holding "AI World 2021" under the major theme of 'Are you ready for AI?'.
In this forum, we will discuss our lives
coexisting with AI technology,
and find solutions to the problems that need to
be addressed to coexist with AI in our daily lives.
We would be grateful for your interest and
support.
