The iPhone 8 marks a turning point in the growth of premium phones, while the PC decline has stalled for the time being.
IT advisory firm Gartner forecasts that the total shipments of all devices (PCs, tablets, ultra-mobile devices, and mobile phones) worldwide in 2017 will reach 2.3 billion units, declining 0.3% year-over-year. However, it added that growth will recover in 2018 with a 1.6% increase. PC shipments in 2017 are showing a 3% decline, but supported by Windows 10 replacement demand, the downward trend has moderated compared to recent years. Component prices such as DRAM memory and SSD hard drives continue to rise, creating headwinds for both the global PC market and smartphone market. As PC component manufacturers absorb some costs as profit margins due to concerns about market share loss in a highly competitive market, the impact of PC component price increases on buyers is diminishing.

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.
