"The essence of AI risk is the ultra-concentration of ownership and power"; It's time to switch to 'democratic AI' [Asia Future Forum]

Translated from Korean Read in Korean

The 17th Asia Future Forum, organized by Hankyoreh, will take place on the 28th at the International Conference Hall of the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry. The forum's theme is "Leading Nations in an Era of Upheaval." The article features an interview with Kwon Oh-hyun, representative of the social cooperative Patty and a member of the AI Democracy division of the National AI Strategy Committee.

Kwon argues that the current AI order, dominated by big tech companies, poses risks and that a democratic AI system, where citizens own and decide on AI, is necessary. He emphasizes that this can be achieved through cooperative ownership, joint decision-making, and shared benefits.
