4차 산업혁명과 인공지능 : 현황, 사례, 규제에 대한 개괄적 고찰

Abstract

The 4th Industrial Revolution was discussed at the 2016 World Economic Forum. This revolution is widely considered to have brought greater changes than those brought about by the traditional industrial revolutions. As part of this overall change, the rapidly evolving artificial intelligence (AI) technology is expected to dramatically alter the quality of our daily lives. However, due to the excessive regulation of big data access in Korea, the utilization and application of AI and cloud computing have been relatively limited. In this work, we address the problems in and limitations of AI-related industries and suggest policies for improving their efficiency, thus boosting the 4th Industrial Revolution. The study introduces the development of AI technology and reviews the current status of related industries in Korea and other developed countries. We also review cases related to the AI industry and AI applications. Then, we briefly forecast the future directions of AI technology and the AI industry. The findings can serve as references for market experts and policy makers seeking to understand the changes being driven by the 4th Industrial Revolution.
