At the second day of the 17th Edaily Strategy Forum on June 17, global experts agreed that artificial intelligence (AI) represents both opportunities and risks, stressing the need for Korea to carefully consider its strategy. Rexon Ryu, president of The Asia Group and former Director for Nonproliferation at the White House National Security Council, delivered a keynote address identifying electric power as the key resource in the AI era, stating that “reliable power supply is now no longer simply an issue of electricity prices, but a strategic national resource.” He warned that “negotiations among major powers could take place at a table where Korea itself is absent” and advised Korea to pursue a strategy of deep integration into core global systems and supply chains. Thorsten Beck, Professor of Financial Stability at the European University Institute, addressed AI as a new risk factor in financial markets. Noreena Hertz stated that “AI Safety Guardrails Must Be Established Alongside Innovation.” The forum was held at the Shilla Hotel in Jung-gu, Seoul.
