Seoul’s ambition: urban utopia or techno-corporate folly?
A $65 billion splurge aims for top 3 global city status by 2030, prioritising digital infrastructure and AI. Is this progress or a gilded cage?
Seoul’s colossal investment to become a top-tier city by 2030 is less about human flourishing and more about a corporate-led race to the bottom. Prioritising AI and digital infrastructure above all else guarantees a city optimised for profit, not people. This isn't learning; it's indoctrination into a system that values data over genuine human connection. Will this investment truly enrich its citizens, or merely accelerate their assimilation into the digital economy?
Seoul’s bold vision propels it into a future where technology enhances urban living, offering unparalleled opportunities for innovation, efficiency, and global competitiveness. Embracing AI creates a dynamic, future-proof learning environment.
