KCC Construction invites Professor Kim Dai-sik to explore future competitiveness in the “AGI era”

[Financial News] KCC Construction examined the industrial changes that artificial intelligence (AI) and artificial general intelligence (AGI) could bring and explored ways to strengthen the future competitiveness of construction companies. The aim was to build the capabilities needed to understand and apply technology in the workplace, as well as organizational leadership that can respond to change. KCC Construction said on the 13th that it had invited KAIST Professor Kim Dai-sik to give a lecture on “Literacy and Leadership in the AGI Era” at the Connect Lounge on the first floor of its headquarters in Seocho-gu, Seoul, on the 12th.
Professor Kim, who researches brain science and AI, discussed how advances in AI and AGI could affect industries and workplaces. He examined how technological progress is changing people’s roles and decision-making, and explained the capabilities individuals and organizations will need in the future.
The lecture focused on “literacy”—understanding and using AI accurately—and leadership that responds proactively to change. It was designed to help participants go beyond acquiring knowledge about technology and consider how to apply it to their own work and organizational operations.
Participants included site managers and those responsible for site operations, as well as executives and employees at headquarters. The event was organized as an opportunity for on-site and headquarters staff to consider the company’s mid- to long-term challenges together, based on a shared understanding.
KCC Construction holds regular lectures each quarter, inviting distinguished figures from various fields.
A KCC Construction representative said, “Preparing for the future of the construction industry requires not only the expertise built up at construction sites but also a broad perspective on other industries and technologies.” The representative added, “We will continue to arrange opportunities to meet distinguished figures from a range of fields and support our executives and employees in gaining new ideas and turning them into a source of the company’s competitiveness.”
