Publisher Ki-Dae Kim independently defined CES and suggested three keywords: ▲Custom Revolution, ▲Environment Revolution, and ▲Space Revolution. At the same time, he explained how to observe ‘CES’, famous as the world’s largest IT and home appliance exhibition, from a humanistic perspective rather than a scientific and technological perspective.
Publisher Kim said, “What we want to pursue through this event today is not only to look at the direction of the global industry, but also to gain insight into the spirit of the digital age and to think together,” adding, “The so-called ‘revolutionaries’ are leading the global market with a firm philosophy and ideology.” “We are leading the consumer technology industry, and by applying this to the flow of human history, we will be able to gain insight that can sustain the future.”
The ‘revolutionaries’ referred to by Publisher Kim refer to those who realize the innovations they envision and, through this, enable consumers around the world to enjoy a new lifestyle. As an example, Apple’s founder and former CEO, Steve Jobs, was pointed out.
He said, “Businessmen are generally preoccupied with generating profits, while revolutionaries play a role in distributing power in the market to members of society by innovating and sharing the tools used by contemporary humans.” He added, “This means the transformation and development of the times. leads the way. A representative example is Apple’s Steve Jobs, who helped universalize smartphones around the world. He broke away from the era in which classes were divided based on the amount of information and ushered in an era in which anyone can acquire vast amounts of information.” .
He also emphasized the importance of ‘digital utilitarianism’. Publisher Kim said, “Unlike the revolutionaries of the past, modern revolutionaries have become richer and the means to raise funds for the revolution have become abundant. That’s why we can use and test the latest trend, ‘ChatGPT’, for free,” he said. “Intellectuals must actively share their insights and take responsibility by paying attention to the energy their writing and words hold.” “He said.
He continued, “The problem with the Republic of Korea is that this revolution has not yet occurred in earnest. “We are passing down the property and power monopolized by existing vested interests,” he said. “In addition, in order for us to get ahead of vested interests and realize digital utilitarianism, we must properly understand the flow of innovation and its value that we are enjoying through digital tools. “That means we need to expand our perspective on the world,” he added.
– Yoo Min-sang, Managing Director of Autonomous AXNUMXG
Autonomous A2023G, a company specializing in autonomous driving solutions, will present the next-generation technology ‘a4z Lidar Infra System (LIS)’ and ‘Level 2 unmanned mobility’ at CES 4 to assist in the commercialization of fully autonomous driving (Lv. XNUMX) technology. platform’ has been introduced. Accordingly, Yoo Min-sang, Executive Director of Autonomous AXNUMXG, attended the conference and gave a presentation focusing on concentrating trends and prospects in the related industry.
Managing Director Yoo said, “We were able to confirm a great deal of interest in the transportation and mobility field, focusing on autonomous driving, even before the CES 2023 was held, but the absence of a ‘star player’ who directly presented the plan and vision to commercialize autonomous driving in the consumer technology market “It was disappointing,” he said. “For example, Mercedes-Benz, which was the first in the world to obtain official approval for Level 3 autonomous driving, only re-exhibited the concept car it exhibited last year, and the remaining OEMs also appeared to focus on simple hardware rather than software.” He said.
Instead, Managing Director Yoo evaluated that modular systems focusing on profitability and the possibility of rapid commercialization of autonomous driving are emerging in special-purpose fields. He said, “John Deere, a company specializing in agricultural machinery, also known as ‘Nongsla’, exhibited a self-driving large tractor and showed the possibility of commercialization. In the special-purpose market, where the risk of accidents is relatively low while driving, the benefits that can be gained by easing regulations are clear. “In addition, it was noticeable that they wanted to add modular systems that can be developed and mass-produced immediately, such as MaaS for consumer convenience, to vehicles as a new source of revenue generation. “AFEELA, a vehicle developed in collaboration with Honda unveiled by Sony, is an example,” he explained.
– Ko Young-gon, Nubilab Marketing Team Leader
Nubi Lab, which has developed an AI food scanning solution, also delivered its insights gained in the field as a participating company in CES 2023.
Ko Young-gon, leader of the Nubi Lab marketing team who participated in the conference, said, “CES reflected the public interest in related industries by introducing a new food tech field from the previous year’s exhibition, and its proportion and status are increasing.” He added, “Enhancing sustainability and profitability.” “To this end, technologies such as AI are actively reflected in order to increase efficiency in production, management, and distribution and even reduce carbon emissions in the process,” he explained.
He continued, “At this year’s CES, Nubi Lab succeeded in discovering more than 132 business partners, and discussed ways to expand and develop services in the future with global companies and related ministries in each country.” He added, “We will continue to use existing businesses and new technologies in the industry in the future.” “We will be able to see more latecomers and competitors incorporating ,” he added.
– Sangwoo Kim, General Manager of Prinew’s Overseas Business
Prinew, a company specializing in unmanned aerial vehicle manufacturing and development, introduced its self-developed drone called ‘Rupel E-2023’ at CES 10. Accordingly, through this conference, Prinew shared the value and vision of drones in the digital era and their thoughts after participating in CES 2023.
Kim Sang-woo, head of Prinew’s overseas business, who was the presenter, said, “Drones are classified into various types depending on their form and role, but among them, our company is focusing on reconnaissance drones.” He added, “Reconnaissance drones are called ‘data miners.’ “It can be of high value in the digital era, and is expected to be especially effective in expanding the military’s tactical data and establishing strategies through it.”
In particular, Prinew has secured excellent safety through its self-developed communication module data link security device, and is considered a company that is demonstrating competitiveness in the global drone market, which is virtually formed by Chinese companies. Regarding this, General Manager Kim said, “We were able to gauge the possibility of exploring overseas sales channels at this CES by showcasing our security devices designed to be compatible with drones from various global manufacturers.” He added, “We have been focusing on targeting the B2B and B2G markets. “For this reason, I did not even think about participating in CES, but I gained new recognition after seeing products and technologies from a wide variety of industries being exhibited at the site,” he said.
– Shin Dong-hyeong, head of Rsupport’s strategic planning team (author of ‘Beyond Change’)
Shin Dong-hyeong, head of Rsupport’s strategic planning team, developed his agenda based on the direction of innovation that CTA wanted to convey through CES 2023. He said, “At this CES, we saw an emphasis on innovation in ‘space’ more than ever before. There are many attempts to create new spaces with Metaverse or to utilize existing spaces in new ways through VR and AR. “What is happening in the company represents this,” he explained.
He continued, “In the automobile industry, assuming a future where autonomous driving will be realized, it is emerging as a trend to shift the perception of cars from a means of transportation to a space, and to significantly expand the nature of entertainment and utility.” “IT companies are strengthening their IoT capabilities with a focus on ‘hyperconnectivity’ and seeking to improve the quality of consumers’ lives through integration between ICT products deployed in space,” he claimed.
Team Manager Shin argued that the keyword that summarizes and explains these trends and trends is ‘HS2023A’, the theme of CES 4. “Solving problems felt by humanity is the meaning of technology and is becoming a standard for measuring its value,” he said. “In particular, modern technological innovations are increasingly centered on software, and as a result, data is becoming a commodity. “Its value will increase further,” he emphasized.
– Lee Hyun-jun, CEO of Seven Point One
As the aging population rapidly increases around the world, we have entered an era in which the number of patients overwhelmingly outnumbers the manpower to care for them. Seven Point One has launched ‘AlzWIN’, an AI-based testing solution that early identifies high-risk groups for dementia. was introduced at CES 2023.
CEO Lee, who was the presenter, said, “The trend of increase in on-demand network services is showing strongly throughout the healthcare industry. This is not a completely new concept, but what I felt while looking at the companies participating in CES was that hardware was better than before. “The completeness of the software is increasing, and collaboration between global companies and startups is noticeably increasing,” he said.
He continued, “The reason why solutions such as personalization, AI, diagnosis and prevention, and wearables exist is to protect the lives of patients by protecting the ‘golden time.’” He continued, “Especially in the United States, where the burden of medical expenses is high, healthcare solutions are needed. “Technology is developing with a focus on reducing medical cost losses and protecting health, and the answer to this is the on-demand network,” he explained.
– Oh Hyeon-ok, CEO of ZCrypto
Oh Hyun-ok, CEO of ZCrypto, who participated in CES 2023 and introduced the blockchain-based online voting service ‘zkVoting’, was the last presenter at the event and hinted at the possibility of building a new democracy in the digital world. Their GK Voting is one of the representative companies introduced by CTA, pointing out digital democracy as one of the technologies that will solve the problems facing humanity.
ZCrypto’s ZK Voting is based on blockchain, allowing anyone to know whether or not a vote has been cast immediately, and voting results are encrypted to maintain the principle of secret voting. In addition, it is a solution that can verify the validity of the content of the ciphertext without knowing the content through ‘zero knowledge proof’ technology that verifies a valid voter and correct vote without revealing the original while encrypting. Regarding this, CEO Oh emphasized, “GK Voting, which has the advantages of being fast, convenient, and safe, is completely consistent with the purpose of digital democracy.”
At the same time, he argued that digital democracy resulting from online voting is not just a means to replace existing methods, but can be a way to promote new methods. Representative Oh said, “There could be room for a new voting system to be established, such as flexibly adjusting the number of votes that can be cast in the National Assembly according to public approval in real time, or reflecting the will and proactiveness of individual voters rather than one vote per person.” He said, “I hope that discussions and research between the public and the political world will be active in this regard.”
In addition, a giveaway event was held at this ‘CES2023 Global Review & Conference in Seoul’ event. The lucky draw event includes Smith S3 Work Toy CT3.0 chair (1 unit), Sennheiser HD25 LIGHT headphones (1 unit) and IE 200 in-ear earphones (1 unit), JBL LIVE 660NC noise-cancelling wireless over-ear headphones (1 unit), and Products such as CLIP4 Bluetooth speaker (1 unit) were prepared and received a positive response from about 200 visitors.
