Abstract
Physical intelligence and Cognitive Biases Toward AI
When will robots be able to clean my house, dishes, and take care of laundry? While we source labor primarily from automated machines in factories, the penetration of physical robots in our daily lives has been slow. What are the challenges in realizing these intelligent machines capable of human level skill? Isn’t AI advanced enough to replace many skills of humans? Unlike conventional robots, which are optimized mainly for position control with almost no adaptability, household tasks require a kind of 'physical intelligence' that involves complex dynamic interactions with overwhelming uncertainties. While advanced language models exemplify AI's prowess in data organization and text generation, a significant divide exists between AI for virtual and physical applications. In this conversation, we'll delve into the cognitive biases that often lead us to underestimate this technological gap.

Abstract
The Reality and Opportunities of South Korea Through the Lens of Semiconductors - Winning Strategies in the Era of Technological Hegemony
We examine South Korea's growth trajectory, transitioning from a latecomer in the era of global industrialization to a leading nation in advanced industries such as semiconductor manufacturing. This analysis not only delves into South Korea's success story but also outlines the directions for future advancement. As a country heavily reliant on the export of advanced industries, South Korea faces challenges stemming from the spread of protectionist trade policies among major global players and the intensifying competition for technological dominance. Within the current landscape, South Korea navigates between crisis and opportunity. The narrative of South Korea's industrial success remains ongoing, as it confronts the challenges posed by the era of global technological leadership. In the face of these challenges, we explore future strategies aimed at maintaining global competitiveness and ensuring survival in the era of technological hegemony.
