May 29 (Asia Today) -- SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won said generalist talent will become more important in the artificial intelligence era as workers need to develop abilities that remain uniquely human.
Chey, who also serves as chairman of the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry, said South Korea should accelerate the expansion of AI infrastructure based on speed, scale and safety.
SK Group said Friday that Chey appeared Thursday on KBS1's "Documentary Insight - Talent War 2: Chey Tae-won's Answer," where he discussed what people should learn and what abilities they should develop as AI advances faster than humans.
"I wanted to share the perspective I have gained by speaking directly with many people in the AI industry and working with them in business," Chey said.
