AI integration in South Korea and India sectors

Overview

In late 2026, international conferences in South Korea and India highlighted the expanding role of artificial intelligence across various economic and logistical sectors.

Initial discussions focused on financial inclusion, specifically through a Korea-India conference regarding AI-driven credit scoring. The event explored using alternative data to assess the creditworthiness of “thin-file” borrowers to expand formal financial access. Efforts included a joint patent filing by Afinit and Seoul National University for AI technology designed to improve evaluations for previously unapproved customers.

Subsequent international forums expanded the scope of AI application to include global trade, transportation, and sustainability. In South Korea, discussions centered on AI-enabled traffic safety, vehicle navigation, and infrastructure maintenance. In India, conferences addressed AI’s influence on digital trade ecosystems, smart supply chains, and the necessity for responsible governance and long-term resilience in economic decision-making.
