Message from the Chairman

Welcome to the Korean Association for the Artificial Intelligence Industry.

We stand at the center of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, entering an era of transformation driven by artificial intelligence. AI is more than technological progress: it has become the core engine of industrial innovation, balanced regional development and national competitiveness.

The Association was founded on the achievements that the Taean-gun AI Convergence Industry Promotion Agency has built over the past five years, including AI-based healthcare, climate and health monitoring, and regional industry demonstration projects. By combining the expertise of public institutions with the innovative capabilities of the private sector, we are taking a new leap toward the industrialization of AI convergence technology and the creation of a sustainable ecosystem.

Chairman, Korean Association for the Artificial Intelligence IndustryKIM CHULWOONG
