[Just Try It] The Galaxy S8 with AI, I Tried Talking to It
The S8 manufacturer said, "We fired it like ceramic pottery." This was mentioned in the context of conducting over 100,000 tests to avoid repeating mistakes from the previous Note 7. Samsung Electronics held a media day on the 13th at its Seocho headquarters and formally introduced the Galaxy S8. On that day, Samsung announced Korean advance sales of 728,000 units. More than 700,000 people who had already marked their interest got to see the 'Galaxy S8' in person. Infinity Display "Wow, it was fired like ceramic pottery." The fine appearance draws admiration—smooth curves flow naturally. The display is 18% larger than the previous model, but the bezel-less design fits comfortably in the hand. The Galaxy S8 is 5.8 inches, and the S8 Plus is 6.2 inches. The Midnight Black S8 with the screen off reminds one of LG's Chocolate phone, which sold 20 million units about ten years ago. With an 18.5 to 9 aspect ratio, the screen fills 80% of the display. We played a video. The screen extending even to the curves held the eye. "Should we try touching it?" We pressed this and that. There is no home button. The menu, home, and back functions have moved into the display screen. When we thought our hand couldn't reach, we quickly pressed the home button three times and one-handed mode activated.

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.
