AI Summit Seoul: Bridging AI Production Gap, 88% Fail

Asia's largest applied-AI gathering is underway in Seoul, focusing on why enterprise AI agent deployments often fail before reaching production. The AI Summit Seoul & Expo 2026, or AISE 2026, features 69 expert sessions and 81 speakers. The event highlights that 88% of AI agent pilots never reach broad production. This high failure rate is due to operational and governance gaps, not limitations in the AI models themselves. Companies like DHL and Toss Bank are sharing their experiences. AISE 2026 has seen a significant increase in participation, with 118 companies from seven countries and over 25,000 attendees expected. This event aims to bridge the gap between AI technology development and practical business applications. This focus on real-world deployment challenges is crucial for the future of AI in business.
