AMCHAM forum discusses generative AI and its impacts
The AmCham Digital Innovation Forum 2023, which was held for
the second time this year at the Grand InterContinental Parnas, focused on the
theme “The Industry Application and Popularization of Generative AI,” in
response to the recent surge of interest in Microsoft-backed ChatGPT.
With the growing importance of digital transformation in
mind, this year’s forum mainly centered on the influence of generative AI
technology on a wide range of business sectors and the innovative technology of
the IT industry that is driving the growth of the digital economy.
The forum was designed not only to examine foreign
companies’ predicaments when seeking to promote investment and digital growth,
but to reflect on key issues and exchange ideas on future prospects with key
stakeholders. It also aimed to inspire stakeholders to form policy consensus
and discuss strategies for partnerships across academia and players in the
public and private sectors.
Chairperson Jeffrey Jones of the Partners for the Future
Foundation emphasized in his opening remarks that AI is one of the core
technologies catalyzing digital transformation and accelerating corporate
growth.
“I am confident that today’s event will be a great
opportunity for all of us to explore the rapidly evolving landscape and
technical capabilities of generative AI,” Jones said.
The forum commenced with a special session titled “Gawngju,
the hub of AI Convergence Industry,” presented by Team Director Oh Kyung-Hwa
and Commissioner Kim Jin-cheol of the Gwangju Free Economic Zone Authority.
The event also featured a panel discussion on "The
Spread of Generative AI: Industry Application and Policy Proposal," led by
Eric Kim, adjunct professor at Hanyang University and the founder and CEO of
Datacrunch Global.
The discussion featured Moon Kwang-jin, an associate
research fellow at the Center for AI & Social Policy at the Korea
Information Society Development Institute, among other seminar speakers.
