A gathering was held where the top domestic experts lectured and discussed together about the future of Gyeonggi Province and South Korea in the era of generative artificial intelligence (AI).


On the 20th, Gyeonggi Province held the 'Gyeongbasi (Time to Change Gyeonggi Province) - GPT Innovation Forum' at the Gyeonggi Provincial Government auditorium under the theme 'Changes and Opportunities in the GPT Era.'


Gyeonggi Governor Kim Dong-yeon attracted attention by reading the opening address written by ChatGPT-4 on that day.


The opening address was created after Governor Kim requested the generative AI model 'ChatGPT-4' with the prompt, "You are the Governor of Gyeonggi Province, South Korea. We want to expand the AI utilization rights of residents in Gyeonggi Province using GPT. (Omitted) Write a speech centered on such policies."


The opening address mentioned, "First, recalling the historic moment over 20 years ago when former President Kim Dae-jung introduced high-speed internet nationwide and provided computer education to farmers and fishermen in rural areas, we at Gyeonggi Province aim to expand utilization rights in the next-generation technology field of generative artificial intelligence, inheriting this spirit."


It then proposed four measures: ▲introducing AI education in all schools ▲supporting startups and job creation using AI technology for small businesses and startups ▲introducing generative AI technology in public institutions ▲considering social impacts and ethical issues arising from AI technology development and utilization.


After reading the opening address written by 'ChatGPT-4,' Governor Kim said, "Since Gyeonggi Province was the very first among central and local governments to create an opportunity to discuss GPT, there is a lot of interest," adding, "We want Gyeonggi Province to lead this path proactively by being the first to apply and utilize not only GPT but various advanced technologies, while also creating countermeasures for any side effects that may arise."


He continued, "If Gyeonggi Province becomes a pioneer on this new path, South Korea will follow and change," and added, "Today, we created this occasion to have residents think together."


He also stated, "We plan to immediately form and operate a GPT industry-academia-research council with companies, universities, and research institutes," and "We will devise ways to apply it first for work efficiency in Gyeonggi Province and its 28 public institutions."


Professor Jang Dae-ik of Gachon University, an evolutionary biologist and philosopher of science, delivered the keynote speech titled 'The Shock of Generative Artificial Intelligence and New Opportunities.'


This was followed by presentations including ▲'Limits, Ethics, and Social Issues of Generative Artificial Intelligence' by Han Sang-gi, CEO of Tech Frontier ▲'Generative Artificial Intelligence and ChatGPT Utilization Strategies' by Professor Choi Jae-sik of KAIST ▲'Talent and Business in the Era of Generative Artificial Intelligence' by Professor Cha Kyung-jin of Hanyang University.


After the presentations, a panel discussion was held moderated by Lee Won-jae, Gyeonggi Province Policy Advisor, with topic presenters, Yoon Seok-won, CEO of Testworks Inc., and Lee Soo-jae, Head of AI Big Data Industry Division of Gyeonggi Province, discussing how to apply generative AI to various industries and expand opportunities for residents.



Meanwhile, Gyeongbasi is a forum established according to Governor Kim Dong-yeon's intention to study the latest trends in future growth industries and reflect them in policies. The province held Season 1 of Gyeongbasi seven times last December, covering topics such as semiconductors, climate change, bio, and future cars.
