Artificial Intelligence(AI) is emerging as the most defining technology for the future of humanity, simultaneously eliciting both perspectives of immense creative potential and profound risk. Katja Grace, co-founder of the AI safety research institution AI Impacts, warns of the possibility that AI could surpass human capabilities by 2027. She argues that “mitigating the risk of extinction due to AI should be a global priority”, emphasizing that the majority of AI researchers take these threats seriously. In contrast, Refik Anadol, a globally renowned media artist based in Los Angeles, views AI as a creative collaborator. Through works like Machine Hallucinations at MoMA, he transforms data into artistic material, translating coral reefs and natural data into sensory experiences to demonstrate the seamless continuity between technology and nature. While these two experts propose…

Due to extended average lifespans and shifting lifestyles, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are increasingly coming to the forefront as a major public health concern. Conditions like myocardial infarction and stroke not only inflict physical harm but are also associated with long-term sequelae and high mortality rates, imposing a substantial economic toll on both individuals and society. Given the complex mechanisms of onset and the difficulty of early diagnosis, making both prevention and treatment challenging, there is a persistent demand for novel approaches to overcome these limitations. Recently, active investment and collaboration are driving various innovative endeavors, including the development of personalized treatments, the adoption of digital healthcare and remote monitoring systems, and the implementation of AI-based predictive technologies. As our nation rapidly enters a hyper-aged society, with the 9.54 million individuals…

Stents are widely used in the treatment of coronary artery stenosis, and coronary artery disease is a major underlying factor in sudden cardiac death. While metal stents have long been the standard of care, the complications associated with their long-term presence in the body—namely thrombosis and inflammation—have remained an unresolved challenge. Dotter Inc. is tackling this issue head-on with its next-generation Biodegradable Stent(BRS). BRS devices support the blood vessel for a prescribed period to deliver the therapeutic effect, after which they are fully broken down and absorbed in the body, turning into carbon dioxide and water, leaving no foreign particles in the patient’s body. Consequently, the absence of long-term metal residue is beneficial for reducing late-stage complications, and unlike metal stents, the use of BRS significantly minimize the need for…

Familiar and well-known to us, Chinese cuisine has made a significant mark in the history of the domestic dining industry. The story that began with a bowl of Jajangmyeon wasn’t just a meal; it was a culture connecting generations. Small Chinese restaurants in alleys adapted Chinese recipes to suit Korean tastes, evolving into the unique ‘K-Chinese Cuisine’. Stir-fried rice with a smoky flavor, the chef’s delicate balance of sauces, and the patrons’ favorite memories have come together to form a defining feature. Now, that taste is crossing borders, reaching out to the world. With the identity of ‘Korean-style Chinese Cuisine’, it creates a new harmony with local ingredients and culture. It’s a nostalgic dish for special occasions and a consistently reliable and sensible choice–a steady seller. BOBAE F&B Co., Ltd.…
