From AI to AGI: How Agents Are Reshaping Work and Industry

Session Overview

The rise of generative AI is more than a passing technology trend — it's becoming the starting point of a new era in which human intellectual labor can be mass-produced. This talk starts from the fundamental differences between AI and AGI, examining how the Transformer has reshaped the way language, code, and content are produced. It also looks at the shifting productivity landscape and the competition among vibe coding, content AI, and open vs. closed AI ecosystems — tracing the true nature of the change that businesses and individuals are already grappling with.

The talk also raises questions about what capitalism and market dominance will look like in the age of AGI, and how human work and life itself may be transformed. In an era where knowledge, judgment, and execution can be mass-produced by machines, what should people learn, what strategies should businesses adopt, and what new order should society prepare for? Going beyond technical explanation, this session offers a big-picture perspective and practical insight for business leaders and knowledge workers navigating the AGI era.
