The 2025 advanced industry standards leadership forum general assembly, hosted by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy's Korean Agency for Technology and Standards, organized by the Korea Standards Association, the Korea Industrial Technology Association, and the Council of Deans of Korean Institutes of Technology, and sponsored by ChosunBiz, was held on the 12th at Hanyang University's Hanyang Institute of Technology (HIT) in Seongdong-gu, Seoul.
At the advanced industry standards leadership forum general assembly, now in its second year, participants will discuss the role of "standards" and policy directions in the push to secure overwhelming technological competitiveness.
In particular, the forum will announce the "top 10 standards that changed the world" and the "top 10 standards that changed Koreans' lives and the economy."
The top 10 standards that changed the world were selected by first choosing a pool of historically significant standards and then conducting a survey of experts from industry, academia, research, and media. The top 10 standards that drove the "Miracle on the Han River" and changed the lives of our people were also chosen separately in the same way.
A keynote address will also offer insights into global trends in AI. David Green, head of technology for Asia and Japan at Amazon Web Services (AWS), will give a lecture on "global industry and technology trends in physical AI."
In addition, OpenMind founder and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Jan Leike will give a presentation on "igniting machine autonomy in the AI era." Leike, a professor at Stanford University in the United States, is currently developing a "general-purpose operating system for intelligent robots" in Silicon Valley.
Also, Han Jae-kwon, a professor in Hanyang University's Department of Robotics, will take the stage to speak on "domestic and global industry technology trends in humanoids," and Min Sang-yoon, CEO of SolutionLink, will speak on "international standardization trends and Korea's current status."
The event will also be broadcast live on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/live/1z5hd5c_1V4).
