  The Shift in Market Keywords and the Role of AI The Shift in Market Keywords and AI 2014 IoT Outlook: "Widespread, but Not Yet a Transition"]  ( 바로가기 ) "   "The vision seems promising, but the timing isn't right yet." One of the reasons why OOO's consumer market is lagging behind the enterprise market is that the majority of consumers don't even know whether OOO exists...

At that time, AI felt like nothing more than a buzzword —a term heavily used in marketing materials by global solution providers , rather than a truly transformative technology. (A highly personal viewpoint, of course.) Despite the overwhelming media coverage at the time, AI was nothing more than a buzzword in annual reports , something I routinely wrote year after year.
