This morning I left my lodging an hour early to get to the KB Securities training center in Mabuk-dong, Yongin, but I couldn’t catch a taxi for 30 minutes. I panicked for a moment, then kept knocking on the window of a car waiting at a light and asked for a ride. A person heading home after a night shift gave me a lift at 8:40, and I arrived at the venue 10 minutes early. They were a real lifesaver. It also reminded me of 30 years ago in Tokyo, when I was badly pressed for time to catch the Shinkansen and asked a man in his 30s parking next to me for help, and he drove me all the way to Tokyo Station.
I gave a talk, 'Smart Work with AI,' to new hires at Miwon Corporation and its affiliates. The world they will work in will have AI and robots as part of everyday life, and I believe the way we work has to change a great deal. We used the session to share concerns and know-how and to test ideas together. I don’t think I’ll forget today anytime soon :)
