Lim Chae-min, co-chair of the Advanced Industry Standards Leadership Forum and adviser at Lee & Ko, said on the 12th that "we need to look at strategy for standards from a new perspective."
Lim made the remarks at the "2025 Advanced Industry Standards Leadership Forum General Assembly" (hereafter standards forum) held at the Hanyang Institute of Technology (HIT) at Hanyang University in Seongdong District, Seoul, saying, "In advanced fields, it can often happen that standards move first and technology follows."
Lim said, "In the past, technology was developed and only after a long time did it go through standardization," adding, "Going forward, there will be quite a lot of cases where the order is reversed."
Lim went on, "It is meaningful to look back on how many standards we have used and how well we know them," adding, "We will release today, by gathering opinions from experts in various fields, the standards that changed the world and the standards that had a profound impact on the lives of Koreans."
Lim added, "An artificial intelligence (AI) standards summit co-hosted by multiple international organizations will be held in December," proposing, "Ahead of that, I hope awareness related to AI will be raised."
