- The use of artificial intelligence (AI) is lowering the entry threshold for start-ups, allowing individuals to start businesses alone.
- KAIST announced an “AI-based one-person start-up education project” to begin in July, aiming to educate 100 prospective founders and support 25 final selects with financial backing.
- KAIST, along with industry experts including Byeon Kyung-hyun, Park Ki-ho, Shin Moon-seop, and Han Ki-yong, will provide mentorship and support for the selected entrepreneurs.
- AI is replacing traditional roles, enabling individuals to automate tasks with AI agents, reducing the need for multiple team members traditionally required for start-ups.
