With Munchmobile 2013 fast approaching (forget about this week, winter's all but over, I hereby proclaim), I decided to get in some preseason training by doing a Korean fried chicken showdown.įour stops - two icons, two relative newcomers. It is not too greasy and has crispy taste." "It does not stick to your hands as much. "You can trust our sauce," announces Mad for Chicken in Bergenfield. Peck Peck says its wings boast "the perfect crisp." "Best chicken wings you will ever taste," proclaims the menu at BonChon in Fort Lee. The Korean fried chicken places seem intent on distinguishing themselves from the competition. One note: The chicken generally takes 20 minutes or more to cook, so it's best to call ahead. For the uninitiated: Korean fried chicken usually comes in sweet/spicy and garlic versions, is deep-fried twice to render out the fat, is known for its pronounced crunch, and is often accompanied by pickled veggies such as radish. Naver said it has been eager to develop localised AI applications for countries with political sensitivities in the Middle East as well as for non-English speaking countries and regions, such as Japan and Southeast Asia.Korean restaurants can be found throughout the state, but the Korean fried chicken phenomenon hasn't spread much beyond Bergen County. "In order for Korean companies to have strength in the global AI ecosystem, each company must first secure specialised technology for vertical AI," or AI designed and optimised for specific uses, said LG AI Research chief Kyunghoon Bae. The companies are seeking ways to tap niche or specialised markets that have not yet been addressed by big tech in the United States or China. South Korea is one of few countries that has developed its own foundation models for artificial intelligence in a field dominated by the United States and China, thanks to local tech companies such as Naver (035420.KS), Kakao (035720.KS), and LG (003550.KS). In February, a parliament committee passed an AI draft law that guarantees freedom to release AI products and services, and will only restrict them if regulators deem any product to be harming the lives, safety, and rights of people. Seoul-based analysts said those rules are seen as less restrictive than the EU's. South Korea has new AI regulations awaiting full parliamentary approval. "Because the pace of technology development is so fast, international standards to prevent side effects associated with ChatGPT must also be prepared with speed," Yoon told Altman, the presidential office said. The European Union is moving ahead with its draft AI Act, which is expected to become law this year, while the United States is leaning toward adapting existing laws for AI rather than creating new legislation. The rapid development and popularity of generative AI since Microsoft Corp (MSFT.O)-backed OpenAI launched ChatGPT last year is spurring lawmakers globally to formulate laws to address safety concerns linked to the technology. "People are focused on not stifling innovation, and that any regulatory framework has got to make sure that the benefits of this technology come to the world," Altman said earlier on Friday as he met with about 100 South Korean startups. The CEO suggested South Korea should focus on chips as both system semiconductors and memory chips are needed for AI, reduce corporate regulations to foster AI projects, as well as work towards setting international standards, South Korea's presidential office said. SEOUL, June 9 (Reuters) - ChatGPT-maker OpenAI's CEO Sam Altman, who met with South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol on Friday, urged South Korea to play a leading role in creating international AI standards as well as focusing on making the chips needed for the technology.Īltman, after crisscrossing Europe last month meeting lawmakers and national leaders to discuss AI's prospects and threats, has travelled this week to Israel, Jordan, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, India and South Korea.
