Issue Innovation leaders call for human-centred AI, bold education reform and applied AI in key sectors

Summary

A second group of leadership statements focuses on how Korea should manage the AI transition. One industry voice argues that AI policy must centre on people, putting trust, safety and values first because human-centred AI will shape the nation's future. A university dean warns that AI is changing the paradigm of science itself and calls for bold education reform to secure the creative talent on which competitiveness depends. A technology executive urges continuous upgrading of science policy so that AI can be used in defence, manufacturing and other core fields. A public-policy scholar proposes a 'Triple AX' of artificial, augmented and adaptive intelligence to pursue a future in which humans and AI coexist. The statements frame the AI transition as a question of people, skills and deployment as much as technology.
