Yuwon also spoke on the relationship between China and the US.
“The US and China hold technological hegemony… They set the standards, which often means their technologies are a difficult fit for situations in countries around them, like regulations, users, companies,” he stated.
Naver is South Korea’s leading internet service provider and its AI research group Naver Labs conducts research on AI, augmented reality, robotics and autonomous vehicles.
The US and China’s hegemony, he stated, is only serving as a competitive advantage for South Korea’s AI products.
