Google sees room for AI growth in S. Korea's mature tech market: official

Google's diversified artificial intelligence (AI) tools, designed to support human creativity through multilingual and multicultural models, are well-positioned to thrive in Korea's mature and tech-savvy market, a senior official from the U.S. tech giant said Wednesday. "It is very early days. I think there is still so much scope, so much room. I also feel that there are so many more products to discover that can deliver value to users in so many different ways," Simon Tokumine, director at Google Labs, said in a press conference ahead of the Google for Korea event in Seoul. Tokumine was responding to a question about Google's strategy to improve its relatively low market share in Korea's generative AI space, which is currently dominated by OpenAI's ChatGPT. He noted that Korea has played a key role in previous technological revolutions, such as the rise of the internet and the global spread of smartphones. "Many of you in Korea are very familiar with this," he said, referring to the smartphone-driven tech boom. "You've got some incredible homegrown companies that are huge in that area."Weiter zum vollständigen Artikel bei Korea Times Weiter zum vollständigen Artikel bei Korea Times
