Developing industrial artificial intelligence (AI) requires "world AI" capable of understanding the physical world, and Korea has an increasingly important role to play in this field, according to Yann LeCun, widely regarded as one of the four leading figures in the global AI academia.
He therefore advocated developing world models that can learn the physical laws and causal relationships governing the real world, allowing AI systems to predict the consequences of actions and interact with their surroundings.
“If you want a system that acts in the real world or the digital world, the system has to have the ability to predict the consequences of its own actions.
ASI Foundry CEO May Hwang, who organized the event, said the expertise and experience accumulated by Korea's manufacturing industry will be an important competitive advantage in the era of industrial AI.
“Korean companies can play a role not only in adopting global industrial AI technologies, but also in helping establish standards for how these technologies operate and are used in real-world industrial settings,” Hwang said.
