This forum was co-hosted by KOSA and the Jeonbuk IT Industry Association, and about 300 people from member companies, government agencies, and regional councils attended. It was designed as a place for leaders of companies leading the software and artificial intelligence industries to gather to share industry trends and promote mutual exchanges.
The first day’s lecture consisted of three sessions. In the first session, Director Choi Hoon of AI startup Upstage and Director Cha Jeong-ho of Furiosa AI introduced their companies’ growth cases and technology-based business strategies.
In the second session, UNIST Professor Lee Sedol gave a lecture on the topic of ‘Collaboration between AI and Humans.’ Through the relationship between Go and artificial intelligence, he presented a philosophical perspective that technological advancement should coexist with human thinking.
In the third session, Professor Tae-Kyun Heo of Korea University gave a lecture on the topic, “The Minds of Koreans Who Created the Republic of Korea: Choice.” He analyzed the selective tendencies of Koreans from a social psychological perspective and examined the influence of these characteristics on social success and failure.
The event included a performance of Iri Nongak, a traditional Korean music genre, to provide an opportunity to experience traditional culture, and on the second day, a tour of Jeonju Hanok Village was held, allowing participants to experience local culture firsthand.
In his opening remarks, KOSA President Cho Jun-hee said, “I am glad to have a meaningful time with leaders in Jeonju at a time when the association is starting anew with the new government.” He continued, “The regional training of AI experts is closely related to the continued growth of our member companies,” and “We expect that the talents trained nationwide will have a positive ripple effect on the entire industrial ecosystem.”
