As organizations rebrand themselves as AI companies, most of the conversation is focused on knowledge workers rather than the people in retail, manufacturing, and healthcare who can benefit from AI just as much. Prakash Kota, CIO of UKG, one of the largest HR tech platforms in the market, which delivers a workforce operating platform utilized by 80,000 organizations in 150 countries, explains how his company uses agentic AI, voice agents, and a democratized innovation framework to transform the frontline worker experience, and why the CIO-CHRO partnership is critical to making it stick.

- “제조·국방 현장, 범용 AI로는 부족”… 윤성호 마키나락스 대표, 산업 특화 AI 전략 공개
윤성호 마키나락스 대표는 6일 열린 기자간담회에서 “피지컬 AI 시대는 이미 시작됐지만, 가장 먼저 현실화되는 곳은 휴머노이드가 아니라 제조 산업 현장과 전투 현장”이라며 “산업 현장은 일반적인 클라우드 환경과 달리 정밀도·신뢰성·보안에 대한 요구 수준이 높아 범용 AI만으로는 대응에 한계가 있다”고 말했다. 마키나락스는 산업 현장에서 AI 도입이 어려운 핵심 이유로 폐쇄망 환경과 현장 데이터 문제를 꼽았다. 제조 공장과 국방 시설은 외부 데이터 반출이 제한되는 경우가 많아 일반적인 클라우드 기반 AI 서비스를 그대로 적용하기 어렵고, 산업 장비마다 데이터 구조와 운영 방식이 달라 실제 현장 데이터를 충분히 학습하지 않으면 기업이 원하는 수준의 정확도를 구현하기 어렵다는 설명이다. 여기에 자동차 생산라인처럼 다양한 제조사의 로봇이 함께 운영되는 환경에서는 특정 제조사 솔루션만으로 통합 관리가 쉽지 않다고 강조했다. 마키나락스는 이 같은 환경에 대응하기 위해 자체 AI 운영체제 ‘런웨이’를 개발했다고 밝혔다. 런웨이는 폐쇄망 환경에서도 동작할 수 있도록 설계됐으며, 공장 내부 서버나 산업 장비 환경에서도 AI 운영이 가능하다는 설명이다. 회사는 이를 통해 데이터 수집·저장·학습·배포·운영 전주기를 통합 지원한다. 윤 대표는 “AI OS는 PC 시대의 윈도우나 기업용 ERP처럼 AI를 실행하기 위한 기반 소프트웨어”라며 “기업은 런웨이 위에서 수백, 수천 개의 AI 애플리케이션을 운영할 수 있다”고 설명했다. 마키나락스가 특히 강조한 부분은 산업 현장에서 검증된 레퍼런스다. 윤성호 대표는 “현장에서 실제로 동작하는 AI만이 의미가 있다”는 점을 강조하며, 회사가 초기부터 공장과 국방 등 실제 산업 환경에서 활용 가능한 AI 개발에 집중해 왔다고 말했다. 마키나락스에 따르면 현재까지 6,000개 이상의 AI 모델을 실제 산업 현장에 적용했으며, 이 과정에서 25테라바이트(TB)가 넘는 운영 데이터를 확보했다. 회사는 이러한 데이터를 기반으로 후발주자와의 격차를 확대

- 칼럼 | AI 급변기, CEO가 직접 나서야 AI 전략이 완성된다
지난 50년간 인터넷의 폭발적인 성장과 오픈소스의 부상 등 주요 기술 기반 비즈니스·문화 변화를 직접 경험해온 관점에서 볼 때, AI 시대에도 과거와 비교해 참고할 만한 유사점이 존재한다. 그중에서도 특히 주목할 요소는 기업의 AI 추진 과정에서 CEO가 수행하는 역할이다. AI는 수십 년 만에 등장한 가장 혁신적인 변화 중 하나라고 확신하지만, 이번 전환에는 분명 이전과 다른 특징이 있다. 기술 자체의 성격뿐 아니라, 기업 내 도입을 주도하기 위해 CEO들이 직접 나서고 있는 수준이 크게 높아졌다는 점이다. 이 같은 판단은 역사적 사례에서도 확인된다. 1990년대 IBM 인터넷 사업부 총괄 책임자로서 인터넷 전략 전반을 담당했지만, 당시 CEO 루 거스너의 강력하고도 분명한 지지가 없었다면 성공은 어려웠다. 조직을 결집하는 데 있어 “이것은 특정 임원의 전략”이라고 말하는 것과 “이것은 CEO의 전략”이라고 말하는 것 사이에는 큰 차이가 있었다. 몇 년 뒤 IBM의 리눅스 및 오픈소스 전략을 전사적으로 추진할 때도 상황은 같았다. 당시 CEO 샘 팔미사노의 적극적이고 공개적인 지원이 없었다면 전략 실행은 불가능했을 것이다. 이러한 경험을 종합하면, CEO가 조직 전반에서 AI를 적극적으로 지원하고 이를 주도하지 않는다면 기업 차원의 성공적인 AI 전략 수립은 어렵다. 다만 CEO의 역할은 전략을 직접 수행하는 것이 아니라, 전사적 AI 전략을 지지하고 확산하는 데 있다. CEO 주도 AI 추진, 무엇이 필요한가 CEO가 주도하는 AI 도입에서 핵심 역할은 조직 내부는 물론 외부 시장에서도 AI 전략을 적극적으로 지지하고 확산하는 데 있다. 내부적으로는 경영진과 부서 책임자들과 함께 진행 상황을 점검하고 주요 경쟁사와 비교해야 한다. 외부적으로는 이사회에 진행 상황을 공유하고, 고객·언론·재무 분석가 등 주요 이해관계자들과 AI 전략을 논의해야 한다. 다만 중요한 점은 실행은 조직 전반의 경영진에게 맡겨야 한다는 것이다. CEO가 재무 전략을 직접 이끄는 대신

AI isn’t all about automating core business functions at Fortune 500 companies. Small and medium-sized businesses can also use AI to optimize, economize, and in some cases compete more effectively against much larger rivals. An Austin, Texas-based vegan cheese-maker called Rebel Cheese used it to level the playing field against a larger supplier. Specifically, the company developed a small system of AI tools to help it claw back overcharges from a major shipping carrier. The company is perhaps best known for winning a $750,000 investment from Mark Cuban, money it used to grow Rebel Cheese into what it says is now a $20 million business. Cuban recently spoke about the company’s crafty use of AI on stage at the Convergence AI event in Dallas. The Problem Rebel Cheese ships tens of thousands of orders of perishable, handcrafted vegan cheese across the country.
