Korea Deloitte Group noted that Nitin Mittal, the U.S. Deloitte Consulting Artificial Intelligence (AI) leader, visited Korea for the first time on the 19th to share global AI adoption trends during a client lecture and to advise on ways to enhance domestic corporations' AI utilization capabilities.
During a lecture aimed at major domestic corporations on the 20th, Mittal projected that "half of global corporations will apply AI technology to their businesses and begin operating based on it by the end of this year." He added, "If 2024 was the year to experiment and verify the potential of AI through Proof of Concept (PoC), this year marks a transition to the rapid expansion of AI application in actual corporate business operations."
Mittal advised that domestic corporations must embrace AI not just as a simple tool but as a core strategy to enhance their competitiveness. He explained that this requires investing in AI data centers and infrastructure, as well as maximizing AI utilization through strategic partnerships with major AI companies.
He said, "AI technology is advancing rapidly, with innovations occurring every three months," and added, "AI will not replace jobs, but those who utilize AI will create greater value and secure competitiveness."
Additionally, Mittal analyzed that the development of Agent AI acts as a key factor in accelerating AI adoption within corporations. He stated, "Now, Agent AI is advancing to a level where it can autonomously make judgments and execute tasks," predicting that "AI will make decisions while humans will validate them."
Mittal also presented AI application cases in corporate business, including ▲ creation and distribution of products and advertising content ▲ optimization of 'dynamic pricing' to flexibly set prices ▲ automation of customer service using chatbots and voice AI ▲ sales forecasting and targeted marketing ▲ brand monitoring ▲ and efficient supply chain management.
