★ "AI capital surpasses 3 trillion won. We must find a way to survive."
★ The latest AI industry report by Jae-Bung Choi, author of the best-selling books "Phono Sapiens" and "AI Sapiens."
A must-read for office workers worried about losing their jobs to AI.

"For the first time in 30 years! The future brought about by mega-capital."
Forget the deluge of AI information; this concise, core AI survival guide is for humanity.

"The combined market capitalization of all listed companies in South Korea is less than Nvidia alone?" Money doesn't lie.
The flow of capital clearly indicates where humanity's future will lead.
Before we knew it, the speed of technological evolution had begun to outpace human thought.
Artificial intelligence is fundamentally changing our daily lives, industries, and even our way of thinking right now.
The author, who led the intellectual exploration of the artificial intelligence era with his previous work, AI Sapiens, has returned to writing after a year and a half.
What made me change my resolve that “there would be no more use for the time being” was the crazy pace at which the world was changing.
The changes that have taken place in the past 12 months rival those experienced by a single generation.
Technology has outpaced predictions, and capital has proven it.
The revolution has shifted from a possibility to a reality, with unprecedented funding pouring into investment markets that had been indifferent to any new technology for decades.

Professor Choi Jae-boong, Korea's leading expert on the Fourth Industrial Revolution, offers insight into this profound transition and answers the question, "What should we learn now?"
Technological change breeds fear, but the only way to overcome it is through learning.
The author's message of "AI-PT," which emphasizes that 30 minutes of consistent study a day can create a completely different life in three years, is simple yet powerful.
While "AI Sapiens" explored the philosophical implications of artificial intelligence, this new work will serve as a practical guide that covers technology, economy, and society as a whole.

Capital from all over the world is now pouring massively into the AI ​​industry.
Just as the Internet did 30 years ago, AI will fundamentally change the paradigm of existing industries and spark another revolution for humanity.
Historically, every industrial revolution has been based on the concentration of capital.
This time there will be no exception.
We are clearly in the midst of an AI revolution.

The advent of Nano Banana heralded a new era in which LMM would go beyond simply understanding text and images to also take charge of creation and editing.
In the future, LMM is expected to become a center of innovation in almost all industries, including education, healthcare, entertainment, and marketing.
The democratization of creation will accelerate, as anyone can create high-quality content without the need for complex, specialized tools.
This will not only lead to new business opportunities and job creation, but will also create an entirely new work environment where AI and humans collaborate.

In the United States, many jobs are already being replaced by AI, and new forms of management and organizational structures are emerging.
This is called "compressed management," and while the proportion of new employees has decreased significantly, mid-level experts with advanced knowledge and experience are using AI as if they were new employees, achieving work performance that is ten times better than before.
If these changes become active in the research field, it is highly likely that almost all companies will adopt and utilize similar systems in the future, making this an important area for us to closely track and study.

It's becoming clear that the AI ​​talent war has become a key battleground that will determine the future of nations and companies.
Until 2024, the contract amount was in the hundreds of billions of won, but now it is soaring to hundreds of billions and trillions of won.
More importantly, it's not simply the size of the money, but the fact that we've entered an era where young talent can negotiate on equal footing with companies while maintaining their own philosophy and vision.
And within it, the presence of female engineers is becoming increasingly prominent.
Female engineers like Mira Murati, who was introduced earlier, Lucy Guo, who co-founded Scale AI, and Luo Fuli, who was a key figure in the DeepSec craze, are changing the landscape of the IT industry, which was previously considered male-dominated.

Tesla is currently developing the Optimus 3, and its biggest goal is to do household chores.
In fact, robots have been shown learning various household tasks such as cooking, washing dishes, cleaning, and folding clothes.
Tesla plans to begin mass production of Optimus in 2026, with an annual production capacity of 5,000 to 12,000 robots.
These robots are expected to be used in the future not only in production sites but also in homes.

All of this could be seen as the beginning of a major cataclysm.
Even OpenAI, the developer of ChatGPT, is facing a crisis, making it difficult for any company to guarantee a stable future.
A representative example is Netscape, an Internet company that dominated the Internet browser market in the early 1900s and eventually disappeared into history.
That's why companies are now sparing no expense in securing talented individuals and securing competitive technologies.

While Korea ranks sixth, this ranking demonstrates both its unique technological prowess and its potential to participate in the global AI ecosystem.
Universities and research institutes are steadily cultivating AI talent, and companies are increasingly investing resources in key AI fields such as LLM, humanoids, and autonomous driving.
However, there is still a gap in capital and human resources compared to the United States and China, so to leap to third place in the future, multifaceted efforts will be necessary, including policy support, corporate investment, and expansion of research infrastructure.
In fact, Korea has had relatively low interest in and investment in AI.
It is also known that the number of GPUs secured by 2024 was only 4,000 units.
Nonetheless, it is somewhat encouraging to have achieved a 6th place finish.
That's because Korea has three robust infrastructures in place to prepare for the future of AI.

Metaindustry is not limited to the content industry.
Various fields, including fashion, gaming, education, finance, and healthcare, are connected through digital platforms, and the boundaries between previously separate industries are breaking down.
As industries converge and boundaries disappear, user and consumer engagement expands beyond simple consumption to encompass relationships and experiences.
The true power of the meta industry is revealed in its expansion into the fandom economy.
In the past, fandoms were mainly formed within specific countries and language groups.
But today's fandoms are formed on the basis of a global network that transcends borders and cultures.

Ultimately, the goal of AI is the survival and prosperity of companies.
At the heart of it all is the customer, and the ability to design experiences that drive subscriptions and likes is absolutely essential.
At this time, utilizing AI can reduce labor costs by about one-tenth compared to the past.
If you actively utilize this when starting a business, you can reduce the cost from 1 billion won in the past to 100 million won.
In today's world, success must be based on AI and requires deep knowledge in the necessary fields.
This new ecosystem will only get stronger in the future.
Preparing for the future based on the consumer ecosystem of the fandom economy will be the most important mission going forward.

Developing a habit of studying AI for even 30 minutes or an hour a day can be a catalyst for changing your future.
At least in the next 3, 5, or 10 years, it will create a significant turning point in your life.
The emergence of the meritocracy era is also closely related to the development of AI.
It is no longer an era where it matters which school you went to or who you know.
We have now entered an era where we can easily utilize experts with PhD-level intelligence through AI.
If I'm proficient in AI, I'm entering an era where I can receive professional help in business strategy, programming, marketing, and more.
