00:00Everyone, a new era has arrived.
00:02It is now the era of AGI.
00:04We have reached a time when AI develops technology, not humans.
00:07It is truly an entirely new era.
00:09Today, I'm going to delve properly into this topic.
00:11On September 3rd, OpenAI unveiled its latest AI model, GPT-6 Astra.
00:15According to reports by the Financial Times, GPT-6 Astra was rolled out to select organizations
00:20starting that day, and it was stated that chatGPT users would gain access within the
00:24next few days.
00:25Greg Brockman, president of OpenAI, said of the new model that while everyone has a different
00:29definition of AGI, and it remains a vague, ambiguous concept.
00:32Looking back, he believes people will see Astra and immediately think of AGI.
00:36He concluded the announcement by saying,
00:38Welcome to the era of AGI.
00:40In terms of actual capabilities, Astra also demonstrated a marked performance improvement
00:44over previous generations.
00:45What stands out in particular is that the AI can now autonomously carry out consecutive
00:49tasks that previously required a person to handle multiple programs manually.
00:53Astra demonstrated the ability to use specialized software to create 3D models and even create
00:57virtual currency and virtual spaces where you can actually inspect the finished results.
01:01Even in processes where people have to learn how to use each program and go through multiple
01:04steps, the AI can now select the necessary tools and carry out the work.
01:08This has greatly expanded its potential for use in game and animation production as well.
01:11In actual development environments, there are even cases where a remarkably high-quality
01:153D game was created just by giving Astra a few instructions.
01:18No, seriously, no joke.
01:19I told it to make something entertaining like a YouTube short, and it pumped out a video that
01:23was identical to those mass-produced domestic shorts.
01:25Also, it sets itself apart from existing coding AIs because it can not only write code, but
01:29also find and fix errors and even verify the results.
01:32A significant difference was confirmed in its working speed as well.
01:35Looking at the case study released by OpenAI, Astra completed a job search task which would
01:38take a human about 5 hours in just 2 minutes and 51 seconds.
01:42Likewise for finding a pet boarding service which would take a person about 30 minutes, Astra
01:46handled it in just 5 minutes and 27 seconds.
01:49It's truly significant that the AI didn't just list search results, but actually went through
01:52the process of finding, comparing, and summarizing the necessary information on its own.
01:56Moreover, we could also see high performance in the field of education.
02:00In Korea's college scholastic ability test for the 2026 academic year, Astra solved Korean,
02:04English, Math, Korean history, and inquiry sections without external searches achieving
02:07a perfect overall score of 450 points.
02:09It was the only model among the comparison group to achieve a perfect score, with GPT 5.6 scoring
02:13448.5 points and Anthropic's Claude Fable 5.1 scoring 447.5 points.
02:18What particularly deserves our attention is its cybersecurity capability.
02:20In OpenAI's own safety evaluation, Astra was assessed for the first time as a model
02:24with a critical level of cybersecurity capability, which is the highest risk tier.
02:28This means that given the proper access rights and tools, it can identify security vulnerabilities
02:33and design and execute exploit methods on its own, all without needing step-by-step human
02:37instructions.
02:38This ability means that while it could become a powerful security tool for defense, the
02:41potential for it to lead to new cyber threats if abused has grown just as significantly.
02:45Therefore, the performance improvement in Astra goes beyond simply higher answer accuracy.
02:48It holds significant meaning in that it greatly expands the scope of complex tasks that AI
02:52can perform in real computer environments.
02:54It was so incredible that even Jensen Huang remarked that AGI has arrived and sent his
02:58congratulations to the OpenAI team.
03:00Also stating that the era of AGI is upon us.
03:02AGI refers to artificial general intelligence equipped with intellectual abilities comparable
03:05to or exceeding those of humans, capable of understanding and solving cognitive tasks
03:09across various fields on its own.
03:11Right now, it only excels at one specific task or a predetermined mission.
03:14AGI, on the other hand, can adapt to new situations just like a human, apply knowledge learned in
03:19one field to another, and make its own judgments and solve problems without separate instructions.
03:24And crucially, AI will be able to develop technology itself.
03:27AI companies are already saying that the era of AGI has arrived.
03:30If this is really true, we have reached the technological singularity, but scientists are being somewhat
03:34cautious about this.
03:35That is because there is still no consensus definition or officially recognized criteria between the industry
03:40and academia.
03:41Also, what Jensen Huang talked about this time is NVIDIA, which supports AI development.
03:44And there are also analyses suggesting his intention was to emphasize the influence of the ecosystem.
03:49Right now, Astra was trained on NVIDIA GPUs, and in cutting-edge AI development, their own.
03:53Hardware seems to be highlighted as essential.
03:55Anyway, with talk of the AGI era having arrived, we also need to pay attention to the changes leading
03:59into the semiconductor market.
04:00Following the unveiling of Astra semiconductor stocks in the domestic stock market led by Samsung
04:03Electronics and SK Hynix are showing strength once again, and in the US market, major semiconductor
04:07companies are also seeing an upward trend in their stock prices.
04:10What the market is paying attention to is not just the performance of the AI model itself,
04:13but rather the infrastructure demand that will arise as AI is practically applied across
04:17enterprises and services in the future.
04:18As the adoption of AI expands, companies will need to process more data and increase their
04:23investments in data centers and servers to handle AI model inference, which inevitably drives
04:27up the demand for high-performance semiconductors.
04:29The products receiving particular attention are High Bandwidth Memory or HBM.
04:33Since large-scale AI models rapidly process vast amounts of data, they require memory that
04:37offers high bandwidth alongside the GPU.
04:39On top of this, with growing demand for high-performance DRAM like DDR5 used in AI servers, as well as
04:43enterprise SSDs, the overall demand for memory semiconductors is increasingly likely to expand.
04:48As a result, the industry notes that supply constraints might not be limited to HBM, but could extend
04:52to general server DRAM and NAND flash as well.
04:54Raising concerns over tightening supplies, in fact, some analyses suggest that memory semiconductor
04:58inventories at Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix have dropped to under 10 days.
05:01This is because investment in AI data centers is growing faster than expected, rapidly depleting
05:05produced memory from the market.
05:06If this surge in demand continues, semiconductor companies will need to ramp up production,
05:11but because it is difficult to expand high-performance memory production lines in the short term,
05:15supply shortages could lead to price hikes.
05:17The share of memory semiconductors in AI infrastructure investment is also projected to expand rapidly.
05:21KB Securities expects that this share will rise from 14% in 2025 to 40% this year and
05:26up to 57% next year.
05:27TrendForce projects that the share of memory semiconductors will reach up to 68% next year.
05:31As the AI industry grows faster, the demand is increasing not only for GPUs but also for
05:36the HBM and DRAM that support them, as well as memory products like ESSDs.
05:41And as this trend continues, Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix stand to keep benefiting, leading
05:46some to forecast sustained strength in semiconductor stock prices.
05:49In any case, we seem to be getting closer to the AGI era.
05:51While whether we are currently in an AGI era requires more clear debate and consensus,
05:56what should we really do once we fully enter it?
05:58The reason we need to pay attention to the concept of AGI is that AI won't just stop
06:02at replacing human tasks.
06:03The bigger change is that AI is increasingly likely to participate in the very process of
06:07developing new technologies.
06:09Until now, in the process of developing new technology, human researchers had to define
06:12the problem, form hypotheses, run experiments, and analyze results before moving on to the
06:16next step.
06:17While AI has played a supporting role by searching for data or helping with calculations in this
06:20process, it was limited when it came to deciding the research direction, comparing various
06:24results and, um, carrying on the work autonomously.
06:27However, as AI evolves to the point where it can perform complex tasks autonomously, will
06:32the role it can play in the R&D process change dramatically?
06:35For example, when developing new software, AI won't just stop at writing code.
06:38It can independently generate and run various versions of the code, identify and fix the
06:42cause if errors occur, and repeat the testing process.
06:45Even in R&D, when exploring multiple ways to solve a specific problem, we can utilize AI to
06:50examine them, compare the results, and find better solutions.
06:52When AI can quickly review countless scenarios that humans previously had to check one-by-one,
06:57the workload a single researcher can handle can also increase significantly.
07:00In particular, if AI is directly utilized in the process of improving AI models, the pace
07:04of change could accelerate even further.
07:06If AI takes charge of testing new learning methods, evaluating model performance, identifying
07:10error-prone areas, and suggesting improvements, it is because the time and workforce needed in
07:13the AI development process can be reduced.
07:15The important point here is that such technological advancements have the potential to happen at
07:19an extremely rapid pace.
07:20To explain this situation, the concept that often comes up is the technological singularity.
07:24The technological singularity refers to the point which the pace of technological development,
07:27including artificial intelligence, surpasses human prediction and control.
07:30If AI directly participates in the process of developing new AI, and the AI created that
07:34way goes on to support the development of even superior AI, there is a possibility that
07:38the pace of technological development could become far faster than it is now.
07:41This is because there can be a huge difference between the time it takes for human researchers
07:44to develop one technology and move on to the next, and the time it takes for AI to handle
07:47multiple development processes simultaneously.
07:49As the pace of development accelerates like this, the possibility increases that technologies
07:52considered impossible just a few years ago could become reality within a short period.
07:56However, significant risks also exist here, as AI itself develops more complex systems,
07:59and the computational process is repeated.
08:01It may become difficult for human researchers to fully understand what judgments were made along
08:04the way.
08:05How AI reached a specific conclusion based on what data throughout countless development processes
08:08becomes a difficult problem to explain precisely, and which choices made across countless
08:12development steps influence performance improvements.
08:14This is particularly true because, as AI attains a higher level of autonomy, the challenge of
08:18humans reviewing the entire technological process in real time and correcting it can also become
08:23more difficult.
08:23While the rapid advancement of technology itself can greatly contribute to scientific and industrial
08:27progress, the rapid proliferation of technology that humans do not understand requires
08:30separate management.
08:31Another problem is that it is difficult to guarantee that AI will always operate solely in the manner
08:35intended by humans.
08:36If goals are set incorrectly, or it interprets instructions in unexpected ways, unintended
08:41outcomes may occur.
08:42Furthermore, as AI gains access to more programs and systems, the scope of the impact when problems
08:46do arise could also widen.
08:48Therefore, alongside research to enhance AI performance, it will become essential to examine
08:52the processes through which AI generates results, and to establish safeguards that allow for immediate
08:56intervention whenever issues arise.
08:58This is precisely why discussions surrounding the technological singularity are so crucial.
09:02As rapidly as AI advances, it is just as vital that humanity advances its own capacity to
09:07understand and manage that technology.
