[ET시론] '모두의 AI' 시대, K-AI 도시의 전환

South Korea's passage of the AIDC Special Act signals a fundamental shift from smart cities to AI-driven autonomous urban systems, where infrastructure and policy, rather than technology alone, determine competitiveness. The transition emphasizes paradigm change in city operations—from data analysis to self-learning systems powered by Physical AI and Agentic AI technologies. Korea's advanced digital infrastructure and high citizen adoption position it uniquely to develop a citizen-centered K-AI city model distinct from US, Chinese, and European approaches.
