Artificial intelligence (AI) is considered a new era beyond a technology. Advancement of machine learning, in particular, deep learning, has created many new products and services which provide new values and happiness to people, including AI-speakers, autonomous vehicles, and so on. As the head of NAVER AI LAB, I hope that our efforts on AI research make people happier. AI for Everyone!Â
