② How It Connects to Our Lives

The proliferation of AI will directly impact our daily lives. For example, as the number of AI-powered services increases, our lives will become even more convenient. However, it requires an environment where companies can actually utilize AI.

③ Us as “Decision Makers”

We are in a position to choose how AI technology will be integrated into our daily lives. We can gather information, think about how AI should be used, and demand it. Rather than just waiting for society to change, we also have the ability to promote change ourselves.
