Virtual assets must be transformed into something actually useful rather than based on people's beliefs.
This is what Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin said at 'ETH Seoul 2022'. For virtual assets to become truly useful, they need to be connected to real-world offline benefits. In response, Samsung is taking swift action.
Samsung Electronics is pursuing consumer experience innovation that connects Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) from the online virtual world with offline tangible benefits.
On the 8th, Samsung Electronics signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) at the e-Cruise headquarters in Yeouido with Digital Plaza, Shilla Duty Free, e-Cruise, Show Golf, Theta Labs (NFT issuing partner), and Alllink (authentication solution partner) to "build a new Galaxy NFT ecosystem."
Last February, Samsung Electronics partnered with blockchain company Theta Labs to present "New Galaxy NFTs," which embody the design of the smartphone and tablet, as digital souvenirs to customers who pre-ordered the "Galaxy S22" series and "Galaxy Tab S8" series.
Samsung Electronics plans to provide tangible benefits, such as discounts and points, to customers who possess a 'New Galaxy NFT' and authenticate it at participating merchants.
A Samsung Electronics official stated, "Samsung Electronics will continue to innovate customer experiences that connect the virtual and physical worlds by utilizing NFTs together with various partners."
The 'New Galaxy NFT' is also scheduled to be given to customers who pre-order the new foldable product, which will be unveiled on August 10 (Korea time).

The Problem with AI is Not Performance, but Trust
CEO Kang Min-seung emphasized at Snowflake's World Tour Seoul that generative AI has entered a phase where "trust" rather than accuracy becomes the key competitive advantage. As AI is applied to various tasks including consultation, risk management, and operational automation, incorrect data, erroneous responses, and bias are creating actual business risks. He pointed out that enterprises must build a trust layer above AI. To achieve this, accurate data management, semantic structuring, governance, and prompt security are essential. He explained that AI is not merely an automation tool but a technology that reorganizes the entire organization's workflows and decision-making systems. Snowflake provides a platform that supports this trust-based AI operation, emphasizing that enterprises should build "trustworthy AI" rather than "intelligent AI."

The Decisive Factor for AI Agents in Finance: "Trustworthy Data Infrastructure"
The key to spreading AI agents in the financial sector is establishing a trustworthy data system. KB Kookmin Bank is operating over 100 AI agents by 2025 and is promoting expansion to 300. AI is automating repetitive tasks across various areas such as consultation, risk management, wealth management, and relationship management. However, if data quality, governance, and semantic structuring are insufficient, errors and risks increase. KB is building an AI-Ready organization through a multi-model strategy of GPT, Gemini, and Claude, as well as a Snowflake-based data system. The bank emphasized that AI has entered a phase where it restructures not just simple automation but the entire work process and decision-making system.
