How pycon KR contributed to AX in IT-less industry
In South Korea, much of the economy still relies on traditional industry — manufacturing, steel, oil refining, construction. Yet only a handful of these companies use software or AI to its full potential. I've encountered firms with over $100M in revenue spending less than $3,000 a year on software — where, in practice, the only tool is KakaoTalk.
Over the past two years, I've found that community — especially one built by members from diverse backgrounds, including non-technical people — can play a crucial role in national-scale AX (AI transformation). In this talk, I'll share what I've experienced firsthand: real cases of community-driven AX, the limits I ran into, and how we worked to overcome them — and how Python and its community make these cases actually work in practice.

I've worked on adopting AI and software to various industries for past 5 years - 3.5 years as a freelancer, 1.5 years as a CEO of my own company. I was a NLP researcher before than, focusing on adopting formal logic to describe formal semantics of natural language.
For past 1.5 years, I have lead ai transformation and operating AI-based systems in various non-IT industry, including Samsung Global Research, Samsung Electronics, GS Caltex, etc,.
この発表を通じて、参加者とどんな議論が可能ですか？
I want to discuss with attendees who are experiencing similar problem with me - which is adopting software, AI, and AI-driven workflows to traditional enterprises. Also, I would definitely love to talk with policy makers if possible; government, enterprise doesn't matter.
Also I want to experience how pycon jp is organized and want to feel the vibe, so any conversation that I can understand is highly welcomed!!
More than welcome to talk about AX and DX in Japan and Korea.
Open to every coffee-chat (I prefer matcha though)
Korean native, fluent in English / Novice in Japanese, but will be more than happy to talk in Japanese :)
