Abstract

With the advent of deep learning technology, which is represented by AlphaGo, artificial intelligence (A.I.) has quickly emerged as a key theme of digital transformation to secure competitive advantage for businesses. In order to understand the trends of A.I. based digital transformation, a clear comprehension of the A.I. business ecosystem should precede. Therefore, this study analyzed the A.I. business ecosystem from the multi-actor network perspective and identified the A.I. platform strategy type. Within internal three layers of A.I. business ecosystem (infrastructure & hardware, software & application, service & data layers), this study identified four types of A.I. platform strategy (Tech. vertical × Biz. horizontal, Tech. vertical × Biz. vertical, Tech. horizontal × Biz. horizontal, Tech. horizontal × Biz. vertical). Then, outside of A.I. platform, this study presented five actors (users, investors, policy makers, consortiums & innovators, CSOs/NGOs) and their roles to support sustainable A.I. business ecosystem in symbiosis with human. This study identified A.I. business ecosystem framework and platform strategy type. The roles of government and academia to create a sustainable A.I. business ecosystem were also suggested. These results will help to find proper strategy direction of A.I. business ecosystem and digital transformation.

알파고로 대변되는 딥러닝 기법의 등장으로 인공지능은 기업 경쟁우위 확보를 위한 디지털 트랜스포메이션의 핵심 주제로 급부상했다. 산업 내 인공지능 기반 디지털 트랜스포메이션 방향을 이해하기 위해서는 현재 진행 중인 인공지능 비즈니스 생태계 참여자들 유형 및 활동에 대한 명확한 이해가 선행되어야 한다. 따라서 본 연구는 다행위자 네트워크(Multi-actor network)관점에서 인공지능 비즈니스 생태계 내부와 외부 참여자들의 활동을 분석하고 플랫폼 전략 유형을 규명하였다. 인공지능 비즈니스 생태계 내부 세 개 계층(인프라스트럭처 & 하드웨어, 소프트웨어 & 애플리케이션, 서비스 & 데이터 계층)에서 사업자들은 네 가지 플랫폼 전략 유형으로(기술수직×비즈수평, 기술수직×비즈수직, 기술수평×비즈수평, 기술수평×비즈수직) 인공지능 비즈니스가 진행되고 있다. 인공지능 비즈니스 생태계 외부에는 다섯 행위자들이(사용자, 투자자, 정부 정책가, 학계 등 컨소시엄, 시민단체) 공존 및 지속가능한 인공지능 비즈니스 생태계를 지원하고 있다. 본 연구는 학술적으로 인공지능 비즈니스 생태계 분석 프레임워크 및 인공지능 플랫폼 전략 모델을 제시하였고, 실무적으로 플랫폼 관점의 인공지능 디지털 트랜스포메이션 전략 방향과 지속가능한 인공지능 비즈니스 생태계 조성을 위한 정부, 학계 등의 역할을 제시했다.
