President Lee Jae Myung, center, stands between Kim Dong-myeong, chief of the Federation of Korean Trade Unions, left, and Yang Kyung-soo, chief of the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions, at a Labor Day ceremony at the Blue House in central Seoul on May 1. [YONHAP] President Lee Jae Myung said workers should not be left by the wayside amid the push for AI-driven productivity gains during the first Labor Day ceremony hosted by the Blue House on Friday. “Forecasts suggesting that machines and AI will replace most human labor are gaining ground,” Lee said at a ceremony held at the Blue House. “But we must not force workers to bear unilateral sacrifices solely for the sake of improving productivity.” Related Article Major union plans Labor Day rally for cargo worker's death in Jinju Bill approved to designate May 1 Labor Day as public holiday for all workers Gov't changes May 1 back to 'Labor Day,' moves to make it public holiday He added that growth without workers at its center could n
- The architectural decision shaping enterprise AI
Every enterprise AI initiative contains an architectural decision that rarely makes it into the business case or the steering committee deck. It doesn’t have a line item. It often gets made by a developer on a Tuesday afternoon based on whatever the default configuration was. And it determines, more than almost anything else, whether your AI system produces answers worth trusting. The decision is this: How should your AI system be architected to find, relate, and reason over information at the moment it needs to? Three dominant architectural patterns answer that question differently — vector embeddings, knowledge graphs, and context graphs. They are not competing technologies. They are different approaches to a fundamental problem, each with distinct capabilities, costs, and failure modes. Choose the wrong pattern for your use case and you’ll spend the next 18 months explaining confident mistakes. Choose the right combination and you’ll have an AI system that earns trust rather than er

- AI just killed your last excuse for not starting a business
I'm offering you four specific ways to get more out of AI: better prompting , improving AI memory , starting a business using AI (tonight) and running a business using AI (Monday). The barrier to starting a business isn't capital anymore. It isn't a team. It's just you. The old rule: Before you could launch, you'd need to assemble an army: lawyer, accountant, developer, designer, copywriter, researcher. This cost — and complexity — left a million ideas unborn. The new rule: Anyone with a strong idea and solid AI prompting skills can model and prep a new business in a weekend. Why it matters: This is THE under-appreciated upside of the same AI boom that many fear will eviscerate existing jobs. It has never been this easy to start something with so little capital. The startup boom appears to be underway. 580,612 new businesses formed in March 2026, according to Registered Agents Inc.'s monthly Business Formation Report — a 14% year-over-year jump.
