Industrial AI EXPO showcases uses of AI to develop industry

An inaugural exhibition to share the application of AI technologies in industrial settings is underway here in Seoul.

Our business correspondent Park Jun-han was there.

Under the phrase “The Convergence of AI and Industry: A New Industrial Revolution,” the first industrial AI EXPO opened in Seoul on Wednesday.

Hosted by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, and organized by the Korea Industry Intelligentization Association, some hundred companies and thousands of exhibitors were present to experience and learn how AI could be used to benefit the country's industries.

“The current Lee Jae Myung administration places a strong emphasis on using AI to drive industrial innovation, and here you can see technologies ranging from autonomous systems and AI-driven manufacturing to humanoid robots.

Right now, AI robots like this one can do simple tasks such as folding your laundry, but with more AI training, they could have a wide range of industrial uses.

The CEO of Large Language Model stated that with repeated training, AI technologies are now ready for real-world use.

“I believe most AI technologies can already be implemented for real-world use. Unlike traditional technologies built for a clear purpose, generative AI prepares the tools even before the goal is fully defined.”

Once considered a futuristic concept, AI is now part of our daily lives, effectively connecting people and industries.

“AI helps predict what people want to buy in e-commerce and provides personalized healthcare recommendations. It also optimizes factory automation, enhances education, and improves energy management by using collected data to make smarter decisions and deliver better services.”

From physical robots to personalized agents, AI is already part of our daily lives.

In fact, AI still holds tremendous potential to be used anywhere and everywhere to help people around the world.
