This paper explores the concept of artificial intelligence (AI), its different types, and the extent to which AI surrounds us in everyday life. Often, we are unaware of how integrated AI is into our daily routines, such as through virtual assistants, content filtering, and other applications. While AI has become a global phenomenon, this paper focuses specifically on its implementation in South Korea. Through the development of smart cities like Songdo, autonomous vehicles, and the intersection of AI with tourism, culture, and tradition, South Korea aims to present itself to the world as an innovative and rapidly advancing nation. Additionally, the global spread of Korean pop music (K-pop) has significantly contributed to tourism, a factor South Korea strategically incorporates into its AI initiatives. A specific example discussed is the collaboration between the dance group Jam Republic and Incheon International Airport in Seoul, highlighting how AI integrates with cultural experiences. The paper also examines the application of AI in South Korean museums and cultural centers, particularly the Dongdaemun Design Plaza. Finally, it explores a more complex use of AI where Korean experts are working to reduce suicide rates through AI interventions. The paper concludes by reviewing a major AI summit held in South Korea, where the primary topic of discussion was AI and its future applications.
