South Korea is embarking on a project that involves training humanoid robots equipped with cameras on workers' hands in a hotel setting. This initiative is part of a broader strategy to enhance the nation's capabilities in 'physical AI'.
The project highlights South Korea's ambition to utilize its strengths in chip manufacturing and industrial expertise to gain a competitive edge in the rapidly evolving AI landscape.
Despite these efforts, questions linger about whether South Korea can effectively catch up to the dominant positions held by the United States and China in the field of artificial intelligence.
