"I will transform the Korea Expressway Corporation into a company that integrates AI mobility infrastructure and service platforms," said Yoo Jeong-hoon, the newly appointed president of the Korea Expressway Corporation. For Yoo, highways are no longer just roads for cars. The plan is to connect power and data across the national highway network while integrating autonomous driving and future mobility. The goal is to redefine the highways, once the main arteries of South Korea's industrial era, into national infrastructure for the AI age. The history of South Korea's industrialization cannot be discussed without mentioning highways. The opening of the Gyeongbu Expressway in 1970 was not merely an event connecting Seoul and Busan; it facilitated rapid movement of people and goods, uniting the nation into a single economic zone and fostering the growth of industrial complexes and cities along the route. Now, half a century later, South Korea stands at another turning point. While oil and steel were the key resources of the industrial era, data and power will determine national competitiveness in the AI era. AI data centers require substantial power and a high-speed communication network for rapid data transfer. Yoo sees a new role for highways in this context. He aims to expand the physical roads that connect the nation into a national infrastructure where power and data flow together in the AI era. This vision underpins his declaration to transform the Korea Expressway Corporation into an 'AI mobility infrastructure and service integration platform company.' One of the most notable aspects of Yoo's AI vision is the plan to utilize the national highway network as a power transmission network and a large-capacity data cable network. As the number of data centers, which are critical facilities in the AI era, rapidly increases, securing power and data transmission capabilities has become
