[Market Pulse] Surpassing the 88% Graveyard...‘Intangible Assets’ Ope…

The recent extreme price turbulence caused by artificial intelligence (AI) technology stocks has shaken both the Korean stock market and global capital markets, serving as a grave warning. The head of a Korean cloud service provider delivering AI services to 8,000 small and medium-sized enterprises voiced concerns, noting, "88% of companies adopting AI end up failing." Failures in AI transformation (AX), often involving investments of tens or hundreds of billions of won, frequently stem from overlooking the non-financial domain of "human and organizational culture." In 2011, IBM Watson received trillions of won in investment but failed in the market after being deployed without considering actual medical workflows. Many Korean companies invested in dashboards or simple chatbots as proof of concept, which became unused due to a disconnect from real-world operations. Leading companies focused investments on communication processes embedding their business context into the AI agent stack, building flexible organizations where AI data scientists and field experts work as one team. Sustainable success in Korea’s AX movement demands the establishment of "psychological safety" that turns failure into an asset. To endure an 88% failure rate, organizations must invest in cultures that encourage and transparently share failures. As research from Harvard Business School has shown, organizations that hide their failures can never overcome the technical limits of AI.
