Epilogue

Do we have time left?
A winning move found on the front lines of the AI ​​hegemony war.

AI technology is advancing so rapidly that it can change the landscape in just a few months. As the battle for AI supremacy intensifies, a strategy book has been published to help South Korea leap forward as one of the "Top 3 AI Powerhouses."
This is "AI's Three Powerhouses: Creating the Future with Our Own Hands" by former Minister of SMEs and Startups Park Young-sun.
This book, a part of the "Technology Hegemony Trilogy" following "Semiconductor Sovereignty" and "AI: War of the Gods," penetrates the core of the international order surrounding AI and the restructuring of national competitiveness.


In the midst of the massive transition to the AI ​​era, Korea has fallen behind, complacently positioned as a memory semiconductor powerhouse.
The author accurately identifies the reality facing Korea, recognizing that the global AI technology competition is a war for AI sovereignty over technological hegemony.
The United States has secured an overwhelming advantage, while China continues to make secret advances.
Europe, Japan, Taiwan, and other countries are also quickly catching up with the leading countries.
South Korea's declaration to become one of the "Top 3 AI Powers" signifies a challenge to leap forward and surpass all of these competitors, standing shoulder to shoulder with the United States and China.
The author provides a balanced assessment of Korea's strengths and weaknesses to ensure that this declaration does not remain an empty slogan.
The outcome of the technological hegemony war unfolding even at this very moment will determine the future fate of the nation.
Accordingly, the author presents a specific Korean sovereignty strategy that leverages Korea's strengths, focusing on the three key elements of AI (computing power, data, and electricity).
If you hesitate, it's too late, and if you hesitate, the opportunity is lost.
Now is the golden time to start making a leap forward.

A Korean AI sovereignty strategy concretized through policy experience and field experience.
Proof of Possibility: The Native Fabless Trio and KAMP

My experience in policymaking and my research as a senior research fellow at Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government serve as a crucial foundation for this book.
In particular, the case of startups Rebellion, Furiosa AI, and DeepX, which were supported through the 'Detailed (Voluntary Symbiotic) Enterprise Project' during his time as Minister, growing into Korea's three native fabless companies in just a few years, proves the synergy when the private sector's innovation capabilities are combined with government strategies.
KAMP (Korea AI Manufacturing Data Platform), which the author promoted in 2020, will also be recalled.
This was a world-first initiative, with the public and private sectors working together to create a platform that standardizes manufacturing data for AI learning.
Although it was built with difficulty and with difficulties in persuasion at the time, it ultimately did not proceed as originally planned.
The author emphasizes that KAMP must be reorganized now and developed into a Korean-specific manufacturing sovereign AI.

The author's vision is not limited to the domestic region.
Based on a broad understanding of the global scene, it captures movements from around the world and immediately translates them into strategic insights for Korea, vividly conveying the cutting edge of the technological hegemony race.
Taiwan's "AI Factory" and Elon Musk's "Colossus Project" are examples that can help Korea find its own path forward.
Korea must leverage its existing foundation and learn from international precedents to pave the way toward becoming one of the "top three AI powerhouses."

A Practical AI Guidebook in the Language of the People

The author explains complex technological and policy concepts, including AI semiconductor sovereignty, Korean sovereign AI, a quantum computing investment roadmap, and a non-stop AI government, in a way that anyone can understand.
This provides policymakers with design guidelines to concretize national strategies, businesspeople and researchers with strategic insights to apply in the field, and general readers with the language and vision to understand and prepare for the AI ​​era.
That's why "The Three AI Powerhouses" is a practical AI guidebook that everyone can read together and prepare for the future.

As the competition for AI supremacy intensifies, the question of whether Korea can leap forward as one of the world's top three powers is more pressing than ever.
This book answers these pressing questions, presenting the goal of becoming one of the "Top 3 AI Powerhouses" not as an abstract slogan, but as a feasible roadmap.
