Since the recent set of matches between AlphaGo
and Korea's Go master Lee Se-dol, artificial
intelligence has become a buzzword in Korea.
Many experts say combining Big Data and artificial
intelligence will bring about the 4th Industrial
Revolution.
Park Se-young has the details.
The Industrial Revolution brought huge changes
to the economy through the mass production
of manufactured goods.
The second industrial revolution came about
on the back of new innovations in steel production,
petroleum and electricity …which led to
the introduction of public transportation
and airplanes.
A third round of changes was driven by internet
technology and renewable energy, creating
a new industry for ICT and the energy sector.
And now, with the introduction of Google's
super computer AlphaGo, the spotlight is on
the 4th Industrial Revolution.
The Internet of Things, Big Data and other
forms of digital expansion are already changing
the world.
"The revolution will be based on who has the
most access to data and can make sense of
it."
In order to prepare for the 4th Industrial
Revolution, economies must devise measures
to mitigate job loss and the concentration
of wealth.
