During his keynote speech at the 'Dell Technologies Forum' held on the 25th at COEX in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, Sangmo Yoo, President of Dell Technologies Korea, emphasized, "Now is the time to generate tangible business outcomes through AI."

Yoo explained, "AI has become a new foundation that drives both business and daily life, going beyond being just a tool within screens," adding, "Last year, data utilization in AI was the main focus, but this year, governance has emerged as the core challenge, and the pace of change is accelerating."

He went on to note that companies are facing difficulties in areas such as security, data governance, and infrastructure as they apply AI to real business operations. According to Dell's recent research report, the '2026 Modern Enterprise Readiness Survey,' 87% of respondent companies reported difficulties in keeping up with the rapidly evolving AI landscape, while 64% stated that they have yet to establish a comprehensive roadmap encompassing AI, data, and security.

Matt Dunphy, Senior Vice President at Dell, identified three major tasks for overcoming these issues: modernization of data centers, scaling AI based on safety and trust, and building a modern work environment. He also projected that with the full-scale adoption of AI agents, AI PCs and the latest devices would become important elements in the future strategies of enterprises.

At the forum, Michael Dell, CEO of Dell, appeared on screen and stated, "Dell is building hybrid AI infrastructure that is practical and can be implemented in local environments."

Kyungjin Kim, Chairman of Dell Technologies Korea, also attended the event and emphasized, "We are entering an era where it is difficult to imagine our lives without AI." He added, "The key concern is how we can use AI effectively in our work and development, while keeping investment costs low."
