Hello everyone! October is here, and autumn is in full swing in Korea. 🍂

This time, I’d like to share my experience attending AI Week 2025, one of Korea’s largest annual AI events.

The first thing that caught my eye as I entered the exhibition hall was KT’s booth. 

It was beautifully designed under the theme “The Garden of Light,” symbolizing how KT’s uniquely Korean AI technologies spread like light—contributing to both businesses and everyday life.

Through collaboration with OpenAI, KT unveiled ‘SOTA K built on GPT-4o’, a Korean AI model friendly to Korean sensibilities.

Unlike ChatGPT, which generally provides neutral answers about historical events, SOTA K impressively responded from a Korean perspective.

Right next to KT’s booth, Samsung SDS immediately caught my attention. Samsung showcased “Brity Copilot,” an AI-powered tool that provides real-time translation during video conferences.

Inside the booth, a live meeting was held with Laia, a participant speaking French. The translation was so fast and natural that the conversation flowed seamlessly—everyone watching was impressed by how smooth the communication was.

Next is the Douzone Group. It unveiled ‘OmniEsol,’ an innovative platform that crosses the limits of ERP by integrating all solutions demanded by business. OmniEsol integrates virtually all operational systems—from supply chain management to franchise management and construction management—making it a highly attractive technology with tremendous potential. 

Funzin has developed defense AI for battlefield use by combining defense technology with AI. 

With the global race to adopt AI in defense heating up,  I was impressed by their goal to safeguard national defense sovereignty and AI sovereignty by using domestic technology instead of foreign AI, and I found myself cheering them on. 

Next, we visited the booth of ‘THINKforBL’, which is engaged in AI reliability assessment projects. Highlighting that reliability is becoming more important than speed in AI, they were conducting projects to assist with AI adoption in the public sector by verifying reliability.

LG CNS showcased “Agentic Works,” a next-generation Agentic AI platform that promises to transform HR management through personalized AI HR agents.

True to its reputation, LG CNS has structured its AI business into divisions like Builder, Studio, and Router, covering every aspect of AI solutions that businesses might need.

On the third-floor exhibition hall, I had the chance to see and interact with various robots. 

One that really stood out was “CAMI,” an autonomous filming robot developed in collaboration between Mind AI and MBC Broadcasting.

CAMI can recognize subjects and automatically adjust shooting angles and framing using only voice commands. 

It was really cute walking around in the shape of a puppy.

Finally, I stopped by the Seoul Metro booth, where they introduced the AI technologies used to operate the subway and offered hands-on experiences.

I had the chance to become a train operator and actually run a subway simulation. It was fascinating to see that my heart rate and breathing were being monitored in real time. Even better, I scored a perfect 100 and received praise from the staff. 👏

This large-scale expo provided a valuable opportunity to see and experience AI solutions across a truly diverse range of fields. It also allowed us to assess the growth potential of the highly competitive AI market and the technologies currently available.

I also found the direction for I-ON Communications' future development. I felt it would be beneficial to apply technology that provides real-time interpretation during video conferences. I also observed that AI solutions enhancing corporate work efficiency are being extensively developed in the Enterprise Solutions field, allowing us to review additional features we should incorporate into RAToRu.

See you next time with another informative post!

Goodbye!
