“Now is the era of a race between AI and humans. AI is not a simple tool; it is a living being. Humans should move toward utilizing AI rather than being dependent on it.”

Kim Kyung-jin, President of Dell Technologies Korea, reflected on how artificial intelligence is reshaping human life and the workplace in his opening remarks at the 'Dell Technologies Forum' on the 17th.

“How many hours did you spend in front of the monitor yesterday?” asked CEO Kim Kyung-jin. If most of what we do now is monitor-based work, such as data management and system approval, he questioned whether such work would even exist in the next five years.

This was not simply a technological change; it was a warning that the very way humans work could be fundamentally reorganized by AI.

CEO Kim Kyung-jin defined the present as 'the era of the race between AI and humans.'

In a world where new language models emerge every week and technologies surpassing the best existing ones are released, he emphasized that humans must change faster than AI to survive.

He described AI as a living being that should be treated in conversation, not as a simple tool, and argued that humans should move toward utilizing AI rather than being dependent on it.

The impact of AI is not limited to the IT industry.

Nearly every profession, including healthcare, manufacturing, transportation, chemistry, and biotechnology, is adopting technology to survive the competition with AI. Even the nature of war has changed.

Although he did not mention any specific countries, he said that in modern warfare, drones and AI are responsible for gathering intelligence, developing attack plans, and even executing them.

This means that we are no longer in an era where humans draw lines at the strategy table.

Public institutions and governments are also accelerating the adoption of AI.

This is not simply a matter of efficiency, but rather a matter of national competitiveness and survival.

CEO Kim Kyung-jin emphasized, “We must stand on the side of overcoming and utilizing AI,” and “We need a strategic perspective on how individuals, companies, and countries will build and manage AI infrastructure.”

President Kim Kyung-jin said that global companies such as Intel, Nvidia, and Microsoft participated in this Dell Technologies Forum as platinum, gold, and silver sponsors, and that they are positioning themselves as key partners in building AI infrastructure and providing solutions, and that leading Korean companies are also collaborating with them.

CEO Kim Kyung-jin said this conveys the message that AI technology should not be monopolized by a specific company, but rather should be developed jointly within a global ecosystem.

Michael Bell, chairman of Dell Technologies, then said in a video, “We are on the threshold of an intelligence explosion, and we must work together to drive human progress.”

He concluded his remarks by introducing Dell's strategies, including edge AI, AI factories, and sustainable technologies, and citing examples of how data-driven innovation solves real-world problems and increases ROI.
