True
SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won said AI should be used to lower society's costs and tackle its hardest problems, sharing the stage with young people in a future-oriented discussion aired by public educational broadcaster EBS, according to EBS's official press materials.
Chey took part in a program on EBS in which he discussed the future with youth, framing artificial intelligence as a tool that society should deploy to reduce social costs and address difficult challenges. The details of the exchange, including his remarks on AI's role in lowering costs and solving intractable problems, are established by EBS's official press release, with accompanying images distributed alongside it.
The appearance comes as Korean industry leaders increasingly position AI as central to the country's economic future, with Chey — who also chairs the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry — among the most prominent voices in that conversation.
The claim, based on EBS's official press materials, is True.
