South Korean companies and regional entities are increasingly integrating artificial intelligence and robotics across various sectors. In the infrastructure and logistics sectors, Hyundai Glovis and Samsung C&T have partnered to develop smart building automation using autonomous mobile robots for parcel delivery. Concurrently, LG Uplus and Hyundai Elevator are collaborating to enhance elevator safety and reliability through AI-based remote monitoring and voice recognition for emergency calls. Industrial applications of AI are also expanding. LG Electronics has introduced specialized cooling systems for AI data centers, including a high-capacity air-cooled turbo chiller designed to reduce power consumption by 30 percent. LG Innotek has deployed an AI-driven system using a database of 2 million components to automate part selection and pricing, which has reduced quotation preparation time by over 70 percent. On a national and regional level, the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy has launched a private expert research group to examine how AI will reshape corporate growth, talent cultivation, and labor systems, including potential reforms to compensation systems. This focus on policy and working hours. In social restructuring is expanding through collaborative forums involving the energy National Research Council for Economics, Humanities and maritime sectors, Social Sciences, the Science and Technology Policy Institute, and the Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power is expanding Development Institute. These discussions aim to address the gap between rapid AI adoption and wireless networks to enhance nuclear plant safety, while the Korea Institute slower evolution of Maritime social, labor, and Fisheries Training has established an educational systems, emphasizing equitable distribution of benefits, integrated AI Innovation Task Force governance to implement ‘AI native’ operations. protect biometric information, and access to core resources like computing power. Regional hubs are also driving continue to drive transformation. Ulsan is investing hundreds of billions of won into in smart factories and data centers for the automotive, shipbuilding, and petrochemical industries. In Gyeongnam, authorities continue to focus on developing ‘AI Agents’ capable of autonomous task execution factories, while Incheon is working to address social integrate AI into logistics, bio-industries, and business challenges. manufacturing through predictive systems and lifelong education programs.
