Abstract

Generative AI is receiving a lot of attention around the world, and ways to effectively utilize it in the business environment are being explored. In particular, since the public release of the ChatGPT service, which applies the GPT-3.5 model, a large language model developed by OpenAI, it has attracted more attention and has had a significant impact on the entire industry. This study focuses on the emergence of Generative AI, especially ChatGPT, which applies OpenAI's GPT-3.5 model, to investigate its impact on the startup industry and compare the changes that occurred before and after its emergence. This study aims to shed light on the actual application and impact of generative AI in the business environment by examining in detail how generative AI is being used in the startup industry and analyzing the impact of ChatGPT's emergence on the industry. To this end, we collected company information of generative AI-related startups that appeared before and after the ChatGPT announcement and analyzed changes in industry, business content, and investment information. Through keyword analysis, topic modeling, and network analysis, we identified trends in the startup industry and how the introduction of generative AI has revolutionized the startup industry. As a result of the study, we found that the number of startups related to Generative AI has increased since the emergence of ChatGPT, and in particular, the total and average amount of funding for Generative AI-related startups has increased significantly. We also found that various industries are attempting to apply Generative AI technology, and the development of services and products such as enterprise applications and SaaS using Generative AI has been actively promoted, influencing the emergence of new business models. The findings of this study confirm the impact of Generative AI on the startup industry and contribute to our understanding of how the emergence of this innovative new technology can change the business ecosystem.

Generative AI는 전 세계적으로 많은 관심을 받고 있으며, 이를 비즈니스 환경에서 효과적으로 활용하기 위한 방안이 모색되고 있다. 특히 OpenAI사에서 개발한 Large Language Model인 GPT-3.5 모델을 적용한 ChatGPT 서비스의 대중 공개 이후 더욱 주목받으며 전반적인 산업 분야에 큰 영향을 미치고 있다. 이 연구는 Generative AI, 특히 그 중에서도 OpenAI사의 GPT-3.5 모델을 적용한 ChatGPT의 등장에 초점을 맞춰 스타트업 업계에 미치는 영향을 조사하고 등장 이전과 이후에 일어난 변화를 비교하였다. 본 연구는 스타트업 업계에서 Generative AI가 어떻게 활용되고 있는지를 상세히 조사하고 ChatGPT의 등장이 업계에 미친 영향을 분석함으로써 비즈니스 환경에서 Generative AI의 실제 적용과 영향력을 밝히는 것을 목표로 한다. 이를 위해 ChatGPT 발표 전후에 등장한 Generative AI 관련 스타트업의 기업 정보를 수집하여 산업군, 사업 내용, 투자 정보 등의 변화를 분석하였다. 키워드 분석, 토픽 모델링, 네트워크 분석을 통해 스타트업 업계의 동향과 Generative AI의 도입이 스타트업 업계에 어떤 혁신을 가져왔는지 파악하였다. 연구 결과, ChatGPT의 등장 이후 Generative AI 관련 스타트업의 창업이 증가한 것을 알 수 있었으며 특히 Generative AI 관련 스타트업의 자금 조달 총액과 평균 금액이 크게 증가한 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, 다양한 산업군에서 Generative AI 기술을 적용하고자 하는 시도를 보이고 이를 활용한 기업용 애플리케이션, SaaS 등 서비스와 제품의 개발이 활발해지며 새로운 비즈니스 모델의 등장에 영향을 미치고 있음을 확인하였다. 본 연구 결과를 통해 Generative AI가 스타트업 업계에 미치는 영향을 확인하였으며, 이러한 혁신적인 신기술의 등장이 비즈니스 생태계에 어떠한 변화를 가져다 줄 수 있는 지 이해하는데 이바지할 수 있다.
