In conjunction with this, he gained practical experience as a consultant for IBM Korea after serving as a manager at Oracle Korea, and is currently a professor at the Graduate School of Information and Communication at Sogang University and a professor at the Korea Blockchain.
This article is a contribution by Professor Yoon Seok-bin of Trust Connector, who serves as a director of the Chain Society.
The new year of 2025 has begun. Korea is in a state of flux and facing many difficulties.
It is a difficult situation, but it is our role to overcome such a crisis. Our neighbors and democratic citizens are working on social and technological innovation behind the scenes.
In times like these, it is important to understand and apply technology. AI (artificial intelligence) and Web3 technology are playing an increasingly important role in modern society. These technologies are
It will enable innovation in a variety of fields, from everyday life to industry. However, for such technology to take root properly, a supportive regulatory system is needed to encourage it.
Japan has lagged behind in some areas in the mobile era, but in the areas of AI and Web3, the author believes that the government is providing more comprehensive support than Korea.
In the AI field, Sakana AI is a representative example, and in Web3, yen-based stable coins and STO support are representative examples. We hope that Korea will also provide such support soon.
AI is a technology that allows computers to learn and think for themselves. Of course, there are many discussions about it, but the level of technology has now advanced considerably to the point where it can be optimized and executed.
This year's CES also featured a variety of AI technologies and services. In this era of innovation, I would like to share my thoughts on how AI regulations should be improved.
First, safe data usage. We need to protect data while still allowing AI to obtain the information it needs. For example, we need to anonymize personal information and
Second, we must ensure the fairness of AI. We must increase transparency so that AI operates without bias, and clarify how it makes decisions.
And we need to create a free space where new technologies can be experimented with and developed without worrying about regulations.
I have mentioned blockchain Web3 technology before. Web3 is a technology that allows users to manage their own data, unlike the traditional Internet (Web2).
Whereas traditionally large companies have had exclusive control over data, in Web3 users can directly own and manage their data using blockchain. Digital Currency
Buying and selling artworks through digital currency and NFTs, as well as music copyrights, have also become possible thanks to Web3 technology. How Web3 regulation should be improved can be summarized as follows:
First, clear rules must be established. Rules for cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology must be clearly defined so that users and businesses can use them with confidence. Then, security must be strengthened.
We need to have technical standards to secure smart contracts and blockchain transactions. We need experts to participate. Experts who understand Web3 technologies well should be the ones to make the standards.
In the Trump 2.0 era, the American "PayPal Mafia" has become increasingly important, and it is a good example of innovative technological development.
For example, the founders of PayPal (former member) have built or backed global companies like Tesla, SpaceX, Linkedin, and YouTube. They are pioneers of AI and
He was one of the early adopters of blockchain and cryptocurrency technology, realizing how important it is and opening up new possibilities through digital currencies like Bitcoin.
Bitcoin payment was introduced to the app, and Peter Thiel participated as an early investor in Bitcoin. And in Trump 2.0, the PayPal Mafia is expected to play a holistic role.
Their success shows that proper regulations and support are necessary for technological innovation to occur. Korea should also learn from these success stories and improve its regulatory environment.
There is a strong need for regulatory reform in Korea. In order to successfully develop AI and Web3 technology, the following efforts are necessary. Of course, some of these have already been applied in Japan.
However, the following improvements may be helpful. First, cooperation between the government and the private sector. We need to create an environment where public institutions and private companies can work together to test and develop technology.
Second, international cooperation. Because technology crosses borders, we must work with other countries to create harmonized regulations.
Third, we need to develop specialized human resources. We need experts at universities and research institutes who have a strong understanding of AI and Web3 technologies.
We need to nurture them and allow them to participate in making policies. AI and Web3 technologies have great potential to change our future. However,
To realize this potential, we need regulations that support innovation and responsible use. Korea must strike this balance and lay the foundation for becoming a global technology leader.
If these efforts are carried out steadily, South Korea and Japan will become centers of the digital economy.
