President Yoon Suk Yeol has proposed the creation of an 'APEC AI Standards Forum' to promote the combination of manufacturing and artificial intelligence.

President Yoon, who gave a keynote speech as the next APEC chairman, declared next year's APEC theme "Sustainable Tomorrow We Create," emphasizing strengthening competitiveness using AI.

I'll listen to it myself.

[Yoon Suk Yeol / President: I hope the 2025 APEC Leaders Meeting will mark a milestone toward the leap forward of the global economy and the opening of a dynamic future. With this hope, the theme of next year's APEC has been set as "Sustainable Tomorrow We Create." It's the era of AI transformation. AI is determining corporate competitiveness and national security and changing the paradigm of the global economy. As APEC accounts for about 65% of the global manufacturing industry, it is important to promote the combination of manufacturing and AI to strengthen the competitiveness of regional companies. To this end, we will set up a working group to discover and spread 'industrial AI best practices'. In addition, we propose the creation of the 'APEC AI Standards Forum' to establish a common standard and certification system.
