This empowers small and medium-sized businesses, who often lack the resources to develop in-house AI, to offer personalized services to their customers.

Professor Lee shares his vision of AI systems that understand individual preferences without compromising privacy, helping users decide what to buy, where to go, or how to live healthier and happier lives. He likens this to creating a personal roadmap through generative AI—an evolving assistant that adapts to daily, weekly, and monthly needs.
