A study on the selection of future AI+X promising fields and the direction to strengthen competitiveness

the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology has an important impact across many industries and societies. AI is useful in a variety of industries such as machine translation, medical image analysis, and healthcare fields such as telemedicine, manufacturing and services, transportation, and energy. On the other hand, negative impacts such as job and labor substitution, human alienation, potential security threats, and malicious use of artificial intelligence technology are also predicted. The field where the possibility of rapid application of AI technology is possible was the highest in the medical field with 42.5%. In addition, in terms of the usability of AI technology, performance creation, and Korea's competitiveness, the medical field was the highest. The service sector ranked second in applicability, usability, performance creation, and competitiveness. The transportation sector ranked third in applicability, usability, performance creation, and competitiveness. The first factor necessary to create future AI+X domestic competitiveness is the improvement of laws and systems. The second is to establish a code of ethics and the third is to strengthen regulations. Others include reinforcing utilization in society, building infrastructure, global cooperation, fostering venture companies, and expanding technology investment.
