Collective learning in decline: Korea's hidden risk

Korea has almost everything a country could want for the age of artificial intelligence (AI). We have world-class semiconductor manufacturers, some of the fastest digital infrastructure anywhere, an intensely educated workforce and a government willing to spend heavily on artificial intelligence. Korean companies are racing to adopt generative AI, universities are launching new programs and policymakers increasingly speak of AI as a pillar of national competitiveness and resilience. On paper, Korea should be one of the great winners of the AI era, yet I worry that we are looking at the wrong scoreboard.

China’s anti-corruption law is going global. What does it mean for overseas firms?

China’s new draft law on combating cross-border corruption is as much a weapon against foreign interference as it is a tool against illicit financial flows, analysts say. The draft sets out ways to block extraterritorial investigations and to retaliate against foreign anti-corruption enforcement, drawing a firm legal boundary against foreign jurisdictions while establishing its own mechanism to police overseas assets. In doing so, legal specialists warn, Beijing is also creating a double-edged...

I survived a stroke during an ocean swim. Here’s what I’ve learned about fear

After his stroke in rough surf, Graham Russell embarked on an unexpected journey into fear. Three lessons helped him return to the joy of the ocean Looking out over the ocean, I would watch the waves sparkling in the sunlight as they grew and spilled into a burst of froth. It was a fun way to relax, to breathe deep and enjoy an awesome display of energy.

It caused a stroke while I was in the water, which saw me scrambling back to shore where a surfer noticed me and sounded the alarm. Six months later, the injury had healed, and my motor functions were all back to normal. But as I prepared for a dip in calm conditions on a sunny day in January, I paused. An unexpected journey into fear began.Sign up for a weekly email featuring our best reads Continue reading...
