South Korea's domestic consumption has been in a slump since the 1990s, according to a study by the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI). Nvidia's CEO has announced approval to sell its H20 AI computer chips in China. However, the current pet registration system in South Korea is unable to recognize AI-based alternatives due to outdated regulatory frameworks, highlighting the challenges faced by AI technology in the pet industry.

He argues that while technology like AI is often touted as democratizing, it can also lead to centralized control and concentration of power. Papandreou suggests that governments should adopt the democratic process used in Ancient Greece, where citizens gathered to debate and vote on proposals, to give everyone a voice in policy-making, including women and migrants. This approach would ensure that no decision is made without public deliberation, as seen in ancient Athens, where citizens could be heard from their vantage point near the Acropolis.

A platform approach provides a strategic hedge against technology evolution, allowing for seamless integration with various AI trends. Companies like Tesla are already leveraging agentic AI, which enables multi-agent intelligence to be applied across industries, including finance and healthcare. To stay ahead, organizations should start small, addressing specific pain points with single agents before expanding iteratively, utilizing new orchestration frameworks that make agentic AI accessible to a wider range of applications.
