Abstract

The paper examines that many human resources are needed on the research and development (R&D) process of artificial intelligence (AI) and discusses factors to consider on the current method of development. Labor division of a few managers and numerous ordinary workers as a form of light industry appears to be a plausible method of enhancing the efficiency of AI R&D projects. Thus, the research team regards the development process of AI, which maximizes production efficiency by handling digital resources named ‘data’ with mechanical equipment called ‘computers’, as the digital light industry of the fourth industrial era. As experienced during the previous Industrial Revolution, if human resources are efficiently distributed and utilized, no less progress than that observed in the second Industrial Revolution can be expected in the digital light industry, and human resource development for this is considered urgent. Based on current AI R&D projects, this study conducted a detailed analysis of necessary tasks for each AI learning step and investigated the urgency of R&D human resource training. If human resources are educated and trained, this could lead to specialized development, and new value creation in the AI era can be expected.

Highlights

  • For half a century, entrepreneurs of South Korea have transformed the originally agriculture-focused country into one with a focus on light and heavy industries, and following the third Industrial Revolution era, South Korea gained a state-of-the-art electronic industry

  • The fourth Industrial Revolution refers to an intellectualized society with various technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI), big data, block chains, and robotics

  • This study focused on AI among technologies in the fourth Industrial Revolution and examined the development process’s similarities to that of light industry

Summary

Introduction

Entrepreneurs of South Korea have transformed the originally agriculture-focused country into one with a focus on light and heavy industries, and following the third Industrial Revolution era, South Korea gained a state-of-the-art electronic industry. The South Korean government announced that the Data Dam project would have a total budget of KRW 292.5 billion (equivalent to approximately USD 252 million) for the first half of 2021 and is planning to collect the training data from 84 areas, including vision, geographic information, healthcare, and construction. The aim of this project is to enable research institutes and private companies to focus on AI-related tasks, and the government will develop and establish AI learning datasets, which will take approximately 80% of the total development process time and lead to a delay in AI R&D projects. It is expected that this project will have a positive effect on the creation of mass employment as well as on innovations in AI research
