Domestic and foreign artificial intelligence (AI) experts, including Near Foundation CEO Illia Polosukhin and KAIST Professor Jaesik Choi, co-authors of the artificial intelligence model paper (Transformer) that became the basis of GPT, are working to ensure safe use of artificial intelligence and Gyeonggi-do's A meeting was held to discuss roles.

Gyeonggi-do Governor Kim Dong-yeon said at the ‘Artificial Intelligence (AI) Expert Policy Meeting’ held at Dodamso on the 8th, “Gyeonggi-do is participating in other activities related to artificial intelligence, such as New York University’s ‘AI Round Table’, exploring ways to utilize ChatGPT, and the exhibition of the AI ​​Creation Group for the Developmentally Disabled. “We are making more proactive attempts than local governments and governments,” he said, adding, “As the era of artificial intelligence is rapidly approaching, if you actively suggest what Gyeonggi Province can do, we will actively reflect it in related policies.”

In his presentation, CEO Polosukhin said, “The direction of artificial intelligence should be towards open source, which aims for openness, rather than a direction monopolized by a few people.” “We need to explore this area,” he emphasized.

Ilya Polosukhin, CEO of Near Foundation, is a co-founder of Near Foundation and co-author of the paper 'Transformer', which became the basis for the development of cutting-edge artificial intelligence technologies such as ChatGP.

After the presentation, artificial intelligence experts including KAIST Artificial Intelligence Research Center Director Jaesik Choi, Testworks CEO Yoon Seok-won, SKT Vice President Lee Jong-min, KT Research Center Director Bae Soon-min, Gyeonggi Research Institute Director Joo Hyung-cheol, Gyeonggi Province Economic and Science Promotion Agency Director Kang Seong-cheon, Provincial Government Advisory Committee member Kim Cheol-gyun, and Planning and Coordination Office Director Ryu In-kwon , Kim Hyundae, Director of the Future Growth Industry Bureau, and others freely discussed ‘Gyeonggi Province’s artificial intelligence policy and safe use methods’.

SKT Vice President Lee Jong-min said, “In order to quickly open the era of artificial intelligence, there must be cooperation among people in related industries,” adding, “We need to strengthen store security through artificial intelligence closed-circuit television (CCTV), diagnose pet diseases using artificial intelligence, and increase demand for new and renewable energy.” It presented social problems that can be solved through the use of artificial intelligence, such as energy efficiency through prediction.

Seok-won Yoon, CEO of Testworks, said, “I think it would be good to allow companies or residents in Gyeonggi-do to view data owned by Gyeonggi-do in a user-friendly and convenient way.”

Soon-min Bae, head of KT Research Institute, said, “AI education should be provided starting from elementary school students to increase AI literacy,” adding, “There may be a problem of the enormous costs involved here being paid to foreign companies, so there is a need to actively invest in the development of domestic technologies such as AI semiconductors.” “He said.

Governor Kim also actively participated in the discussion, seeking advice on the use of data held by public institutions. Governor Kim said, “We need ideas on how to disclose the numerous data held by Gyeonggi-do,” and added, “Gyeonggi-do is a small Republic of Korea, so I am curious if there is a way to disclose this data so that companies and residents can use it more actively.” I also asked for advice.

SKT Vice President Lee Jong-min also said, “Determining what problem to solve is the first step in releasing data,” and added, “Once Gyeonggi Province first decides what problem it wants to solve with artificial intelligence, we will collaborate with companies with experience to solve the problem step by step, starting with data collection.” “We will be able to resolve it,” he said.

Seok-won Yoon, CEO of Testworks, said, “Let’s find a way to solve the problem using Gyeonggi-do’s public data, create jobs through data purification in the process, and create a simple pilot program by linking things that attract investment from companies.” suggested.

Meanwhile, Gyeonggi-do is using artificial intelligence technology for 'access to the underprivileged' and 'repetitive tasks' and is promoting the 'GPT Creative Group' pilot project to support the artistic activities of people with developmental disabilities and to use artificial intelligence to simplify call center and civil service services and administrative tasks. We are preparing a plan to apply it.
