SUNY Korea Department of Computer Science Professors Advance Strategic R&D Planning in Robotics and Energy-Efficient AI Professors Francois Rameau and Zhoulai Fu of the Department of Computer Science at SUNY Korea have been selected to participate in strategic R&D planning initiatives focused on next-generation robotics and energy-efficient AI. Through collaboration with leading Korean research institutes, the initiatives provide opportunities to develop their research concepts and establish pathways toward future national and international R&D projects. SUNY Korea has launched two strategic R&D planning initiatives in next-generation robotics and energy-efficient AI, strengthening the university’s engagement with Korea’s national research and innovation ecosystem. The initiatives are part of a collaborative program supported by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy (MOTIE) and the Incheon Global Campus (IGC), designed to foster industry–academia–research cooperation and identify promising research areas for future national and international collaborative R&D. Professor Francois Rameau is leading a research planning initiative in AI-powered robotics and spatial intelligence, exploring technologies for next-generation intelligent robotic systems that can better perceive, understand, and interact with complex real-world environments. The research area is being further explored in collaboration with KATECH (Korea Automotive Technology Institute) as part of the robotics technology R&D planning process. Through technical discussions and expert consultation, the team will refine the research direction and explore opportunities for future collaborative R&D. Professor Zhoulai Fu is leading a research planning initiative in energy-efficient AI and machine learning, focusing on technologies that could improve the efficiency and sustainability of future AI computing systems. The research area is being further developed with KETI (Korea Electronics Technology Institute) in connection with advanced semiconductor and AI computing technologies. The planning process will explore promising technological directions and collaborative opportunities for future research in advanced AI and semiconductor technologies. Kick-off meetings with the respective research teams and partner institutes have been completed, marking the beginning of the next stage of the R&D planning process. The selected research topics will now be further developed through technical consultation, collaborative planning, and engagement with potential research partners, with the goal of building competitive research concepts for future national and international R&D opportunities. This process provides SUNY Korea with an important opportunity to connect the expertise of its Computer Science faculty with leading Korean research institutes and to expand collaboration with industry, academia, and international research partners. The SUNY Korea Research Support Team (R&BDF) will work closely with Professors Rameau and Fu throughout the planning process, supporting coordination with research institutes, government-related organizations, and potential collaborative partners. Beyond the initial planning stage, R&BDF will continue to support the development of these research concepts into competitive R&D proposals and future funding opportunities, working together with the faculty and partner institutions toward successful project development and acquisition. Through this collaborative effort, SUNY Korea aims to strengthen a sustainable pathway from promising research ideas to strategic R&D planning, collaborative partnerships, competitive proposals, and future national and international R&D projects.

SUNY Korea Hosts AI Industry–Academia Collaboration Symposium The AI Industry–Academia Collaboration & Curriculum Integration Symposium was held on Friday, February 13, 2026, at the Songdo Central Park Hotel. The event was co-hosted by SUNY Korea and the Inha University Office of Industry–Academic Cooperation, with support from the Incheon Metropolitan Government’s I-RISE program. The event brought together faculty members and industry professionals to explore collaborative strategies for advancing AI education and workforce development in the region. Five professors from the Computer Science department presented SUNY Korea’s vision for AI, highlighting research strengths in on-device AI, machine learning and deep learning, intelligent transportation systems, and human-centered AI. More than just a networking session, the symposium aimed to build a bridge between academia and industry by identifying current demand for AI technologies and talent, integrating industry needs into academic curricula, and establishing practical models for internships and field training. The program featured an overview of SUNY Korea’s AI research ecosystem, presentations led by CS professors, an industry panel discussion on workforce trends, and an open discussion session on designing industry-linked AI curricula and internship opportunities.

BM Professor Younggeun Lee Delivers Keynote at U.S. Department of State–Hosted AI Entrepreneurship Forum Business Management Professor Younggeun Lee of the State University of New York, Korea delivered a keynote address on December 9, 2025, in Phuket, Thailand, at the U.S. Department of State–hosted Entrepreneurship in the Age of AI forum. The event convened 50 delegates from 16 countries, including government officials, NGO executives, AI startup founders, and academic experts, to discuss how artificial intelligence is reshaping entrepreneurial ecosystems worldwide. In his keynote, Teaching Entrepreneurship in the Era of the AI Renaissance, Professor Lee examined how AI is transforming entrepreneurial learning, decision-making, and venture creation. Drawing on his research and recent case studies, he outlined seven core themes that characterize contemporary AI-driven entrepreneurship. Three themes generated particular discussion. AI Coach vs. Human Mentor highlighted the potential of hybrid human × AI coaching models, especially when AI systems are trained on deep institutional knowledge bases such as Y Combinator’s archival materials. The Rise of the AI Co-Founder described how entrepreneurs increasingly rely on AI stacks for market research, financial modeling, and early-stage validation, marking a shift toward “learning-with-AI” as a foundational entrepreneurial skill. AI-as-a-Judge examined the use of large language models to evaluate startup pitches with high consistency, while still requiring bias monitoring and human oversight for final decisions. Professor Lee also addressed broader trends shaping the entrepreneurial landscape. These included the growing importance of AI literacy as a societal baseline, the emergence of AI-native universities, debates over AI weaponization in competitive markets, and the accelerating demand for governance frameworks that define responsible AI-driven venture creation. The forum concluded with delegates outlining the AI and Entrepreneurship Strategic White Paper, a confidential U.S.–Indo-Pacific framework focused on AI education, SME innovation, and cross-border digital collaboration. The initiative aims to enhance geopolitical competitiveness while establishing practical pathways for shared and sustainable growth. Reflecting on the discussions, Professor Lee noted: “AI sovereignty is emerging as a key determinant of global competitiveness. Governments face a fundamental decision regarding whether AI literacy and infrastructure should function as widely accessible public goods or remain concentrated within a limited number of countries and corporations. Unequal access to AI capabilities risks intensifying geopolitical competition and generating new forms of global instability. Addressing these risks will require sustained multilateral coordination, potentially through UN-level frameworks that establish shared infrastructure, governance standards, and mechanisms of accountability. Such coordination is essential to ensure that AI-driven innovation advances in ways that are transparent, secure, and broadly beneficial rather than reinforcing existing power asymmetries.”
