Join us in this thought-provoking episode of the GX Video Series and Podcast, recorded live at the World Government Summit 2023, where host Ian Khan sits down with Kyung Yang Park, a visionary leader in Korea’s tech innovation scene. In this engaging conversation, Mr. Park shares Korea’s strategic approach to shaping the future of AI, user-centric technology, and the metaverse, offering a glimpse into a world where digital empowerment is shifting from corporations to individuals.

Mr. Park introduces a compelling vision of a paradigm shift — one that moves away from traditional business-centric models toward a user-centric AI ecosystem. With the power of smartphones and personal data, individuals can become the central drivers of their digital experiences, making decisions about the services they access and the data they share. This democratization of technology aims to eliminate middlemen and prioritize privacy, control, and personalization.

Throughout the interview, Mr. Park explains how this model could revolutionize industries such as healthcare, education, transportation, and finance. He highlights the importance of hyper-personalized AI that understands each person’s unique needs based on their own data vaults, rather than relying on limited datasets from corporations. Use cases discussed include everything from health path recommendations to smart financial planning and AI-powered small business support.

As robotics and the metaverse begin to integrate with everyday life, Mr. Park emphasizes the necessity of keeping AI user-centric and privacy-first. He also touches on exciting innovations from Korea, such as Seoul’s public sector metaverse initiative. The future he describes is one where AI and robotics serve human happiness, not just commercial efficiency — a concept rooted in the belief that all technological advancement should enhance the human experience.
