AI Transformation and Work Productivity Innovation
Recently, AI Transformation (AX) has emerged as a core factor in corporate competitiveness. There is a significant difference between merely using AI tools and executing AX to increase work productivity. AI teams identify the cause of AI adoption failures not in AI itself, but in the misdefinition of AX. Work bottlenecks are classified into simple repetitive tasks, high-intelligence tasks, and inefficiencies in work structure, each solved by automation, AI introduction, and corporate culture improvement respectively.
Balancing AX consulting and education is also crucial. Education lays the foundation for AI understanding, while consulting handles actual implementation. Customized training by rank strengthens AI utilization capabilities for CEOs, executives, team leaders, and staff alike. These efforts translate into tangible AI adoption outcomes, proving increased work productivity with numbers.
Government24 AI Pilot Service and Public AI Utilization
The Ministry of the Interior and Safety introduced AI intelligent search on the Government24 portal, enabling citizens to easily find civil service information using everyday language. When questions are ambiguous, AI asks additional questions to clarify content and provides region-based personalized services. The key change is shifting from simple keyword search to conversational search.
However, as it is still in the pilot phase, there is room for improvement in answer completeness and accessibility features. AI responses include reliability ratings and disclaimers about possible errors to enhance user trust. The Government24 AI pilot service indicates the future direction of public AI services.
Edge AI and Model Quantization Technology Collaboration
Nota and ShimaAI are strategically collaborating focusing on model quantization technology that optimizes AI models to be smaller in edge AI environments. The core is to maintain maximum efficiency and performance within limited semiconductor capabilities. This enables on-device AI to operate independently in various industrial fields such as robotics and autonomous vehicles.
ShimaAI overcame the limitations of first-generation chips and from the second generation supports generative AI like transformers and large language models, shifting its business direction to physical AI. The collaboration with Nota is a strategy for AI semiconductor companies to survive and evolve in a rapidly changing market.
Major IT Companies’ Performance and Market Outlook
In March 2026, major IT companies are showing growth driven by increased AI demand and new technology adoption. Absci focuses on AI-based new drug development and announced progress in clinical pipelines, while Kingsoft Cloud saw a surge in AI business revenue. Paychex introduced over 500 AI functions, significantly increasing sales and operating profit.
Pony.AI expanded its autonomous robo-taxi operations and user base, entering monetization. AI service companies are focusing more on agent AI execution infrastructure and inference optimization rather than costly generative AI. This trend is expected to influence market volatility.
