AINovember 1, 20261 min read

Keimyung University in Daegu has announced a plan to use artificial intelligence (AI) across its whole campus, including teaching, research and office work. The school says the goal is a future university that keeps people at the center.

What happened

On the 28th, Keimyung University held an AI vision launch event at its Seongseo campus. The school named this change the 'AI transformation' (AX). It means using AI in every part of university life, not just adding a few new tools. The slogan was 'A University Changing with AI, Opening the Future with Keimyung.'

Key facts

The event opened 'KEIMYUNG AI WEEK 2026', which ran until the 30th.
Speakers included university president Shin Il-hee and Daegu Superintendent of Education Kang Eun-hee.
Vice President Yoon Woo-seok announced the 'Keimyung AI Vision'.
AI Director Lee Jong-ha presented the plan for the AX change.

How the plan works

Until now, AI was used only in certain majors or certain jobs. The new plan aims to make AI part of daily life for all students, professors and staff. Students will get a learning space that builds AI skills. Teachers and staff will get support to work faster and more efficiently.

Why it matters

Schools across the country are working out how AI will change learning. The university says that as technology grows, protecting human identity and dignity matters even more. President Shin said the goal is for AI to free up time and money, so people can contribute more to culture and society.

Sam Altman: "It's a shame RAM sits in users' machines"

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said in a YouTube interview with Cheeky Pint, published October 30, that he is concerned about people wanting to run AI inference locally on devices, arguing that scarce RAM would be better used in data centers. He said local inference is a way to run AI models on personal hardware, and that RAM in personal computers sits idle about 95% of the time. Tom's Hardware noted that OpenAI's main business still relies on closed models run in data centers, while analysts expect memory chip shortages to last at least until 2028.

Amazon sends chills through its workforce with mixed message memo about AI use

Corey Quinn writes that an Amazon memo by VP and Distinguished Engineer Terk Terkowitz on the role of developers in the AI era has left many software engineers uneasy about their profession's future. The memo, first sent internally in September, emphasizes customer outcomes and engineering judgment and suggests checking whether teams with the highest AI token use actually increase delivery. Quinn notes that the memo lands amid Amazon's shutdown of the KiroRank token-usage leaderboard and reported new job cuts, though he does not claim these events are related.
