Jo Kang-won (조강원), CEO of infrastructure software firm Moreh, said developing proprietary AI models alone is not enough to complete sovereign AI. He urged Korea to advance domestic AI semiconductors so they can be used for model training as well as inference, and to secure infrastructure software capabilities to connect and operate multiple chips efficiently. He backed government efforts on foundation models and domestic AI chips, and proposed boosting domestic token demand, including through token vouchers.

Artificial intelligence could threaten humanity through scenarios ranging from losing control to a superintelligence to bioweapons, nuclear war and social collapse. The more realistic risk may be society destabilising itself as mass unemployment, disinformation and political polarisation intensify, rather than AI suddenly attacking humans. University of New South Wales AI researcher Toby Walsh laid out five scenarios and said assessments should consider both current AI capabilities and real-world social impact.
