The Story in 2026

AI Has Moved Beyond Experimentation

The focus in 2026 is deployment at scale. Organisations across Korea and Asia are now building AI into core systems — moving from pilots to production, and under increasing pressure to demonstrate measurable business impact.

Across the programme, sessions explore how organisations are deploying AI systems at scale, building the infrastructure and governance frameworks required for long-term adoption, and delivering real business outcomes in one of Asia's most dynamic AI markets.

Sessions are led by business leaders, global technology companies, Korean enterprise teams, government representatives and academic experts working on AI in production — making AIS Seoul one of the most substantive AI events in Asia.
