Today, we are living in the age of a great revolution called the 4th Industrial Revolution. This revolution is also referred to as the “Age of Digital Transformation” or the “2nd Period of the Information Age.” Regardless of the term used, the key enabling technology is ICT. Collectively called ABCI, Artificial Intelligence (A), Big Data (B), Cloud computing (C), and Internet of Things (I) are all ICT. As a tool of innovation, ICT is not only intellectualizing the structure of industries from manufacturing to defense, medical care, culture, education, and agriculture/livestock/fishing industries but will enhance the individual lives of people in safe, convenient ways. As a frontier school that creates a future society, ETRI School, UST aims to preemptively respond to training professionals in the fields of artificial intelligence, advanced materials & devices, information security, and communication & media, among the core technologies that will lead the 4th Industrial Revolution. So, we also wish to help build a nation that overflows with the spirit of caring through the development of “people-friendly” technology that can use in creating a people-oriented digital society. Together with our students, we will become a global research institute beloved by the public, trusted by the government, and acknowledged by our customers. Thank you.
