3. Forging "Optimal Paths" Off the Rails: The Future of Mobility Transformed by AMRs

- Key Summary: Autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) are emerging as next-generation mobility solutions that generate optimal paths on their own, free from fixed-route constraints, expanding their commercialization scope into logistics, manufacturing, and construction. Hyundai Motor (005380.KS) Group's AMR "MobED" began domestic sales in March this year and is set for mass production in the second half, while startup Neubility's "Neubie" has been deployed in delivery and patrol services in Seoul, Busan, Gwangju, and Gangneung, surpassing cumulative mileage equivalent to twice around the Earth. The industry evaluates that AMR product competitiveness is determined by three factors in addition to autonomous driving technology: ease of adoption, product scalability, and operating software. Experts predict that AMRs will rapidly spread in industries with repetitive mobility tasks that must simultaneously improve operational efficiency and service quality.

4. "Shortages of Computing, Chips, and Power... $14.5 Quadrillion Won Projected for AI Over 10 Years"

- Key Summary: Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock, the world's largest asset manager, and Bruce Flatt, CEO of Brookfield, the world's largest alternative asset manager, projected that $10 trillion (approximately 14.5 quadrillion won) will be invested in AI infrastructure over the next decade. Flatt emphasized that "building AI-related power grids, factories, data centers, and fiber optic networks is a massive investment that takes 10 to 20 years, not one or two." Fink pointed to shortages in power, computing, and chip supply, arguing that enormous funds must also flow into the cybersecurity sector. They actively rebutted the AI investment bubble theory recently raised in some Wall Street circles, disclosing that a significant portion of Brookfield's $1.2 trillion private credit assets will flow into fiber optic backbone networks, cloud infrastructure, and AI infrastructure. Fink also predicted that a new asset class called "computing futures," designed to hedge against surging computing costs, will eventually emerge.
