Our Story: Sovereignty - Ann Geu-hwan's Asset Productization Process - Case Study (3) (Based on an online post by Ann Geu-hwan, Recommended: 0, Views: 0, Dated: 05.09, 15:46, Comments: 0)

[I. THE IDENTIFIED "PROBLEM": The Seoul AI Hub's 2025 Global Talent Recruitment Initiative]

The context for this case study is an initiative by Seoul City's AI Hub, as reported by EBN News Center, aimed at supporting domestic AI startups in securing global talent. The "2025 Global Talent Recruitment" program was officially launched on May 8th.

Key Features of the Seoul AI Hub Program:

• Objective: To connect foreign international students (graduates or soon-to-be graduates) residing in Korea who are interested in AI startups with internship opportunities at Seoul AI Hub member startups.
• Beyond Internships: Designed as a practical employment linkage platform, aiming for regular employment and expansion of global technology collaboration, not just experiential internships.
• Past Success (2024):
  • The Hub collaborated with 11 universities and organizations like Vietnam's FPT University to recruit over 100 overseas developers.
  • From these, 40+ talented individuals from 19 countries were selected.
  • 10 interns were successfully matched with 8 AI startups.
  • One notable outcome: an intern was hired full-time by Croft, a startup developing AI-driven autonomous control software for smart greenhouses.
• Benefits for Participating Companies (Examples from 2024):
  • Hudson AI (AI-based dubbing): Conducted Spanish localization.
  • NeuroSense (manufacturing-specific AI algorithms): Developed tech marketing strategies for the Latin American market.
  • S&P Lab: Improved its personal information-based advertising algorithm with an intern.
  • Croft: Tested smart farm greenhouse control software and enhanced field responsiveness.
  • 4DiiViSiON (3D robot arm solutions): Advanced its R&D strategy by comparing and analyzing research papers.
  • Studio FreeWillusion (generative AI content): Jointly implemented video generation models and processed datasets.
  • TryFifty (LLM-based SaaS): Added an AI code analysis feature to its platform.
  • Dooda.ge: Improved its proprietary AI translation tool "Mido" with an intern and conducted usability tests.
• Overall Impact on Companies: Acquired capabilities for practical global expansion, including technology development, product localization, multilingual service application, and establishing a foundation for global marketing.
• 2025 Program Expansion:
  • Increase support to 20 companies.
  • Select and match a total of 20 foreign interns.
  • Internship period: Approximately 3 months, from mid-June to mid-September.
  • Comprehensive support from Seoul AI Hub: Visa guidance, matching interviews, attendance management, and transition to full-time employment. Bi-weekly monitoring for quality and suitability, post-internship satisfaction surveys, and follow-up support. Partial funding for intern costs.
• Seoul AI Hub's Vision: To discover overlooked foreign talent in Korea and design an effective structure leading to actual employment and technological collaboration. Future plans include expanding agreements with overseas universities, securing a global talent pool, and establishing a basis for long-term employment connections.
• Quote from Park Chan-jin, Director of Seoul AI Hub: "The Global Talent Recruitment program provides domestic AI startups with opportunities to secure needed AI/SW talent and aids in product localization and overseas expansion. It also supports international students in exploring new career paths through practical experience in domestic AI tech startups, beyond just seeking employment in large corporations. We are also materializing new projects focused on securing tech talent through ties with overseas universities and fostering exchange and cooperation among AI startups."
• Application Details: Applications for the 2025 program were open until May 11th for foreign international students and graduates/soon-to-be graduates interested in AI startups, via the Seoul AI Hub website.

[II. ANN GEU-HWAN'S PSST FRAMEWORK ANALYSIS & SOVEREIGN SOLUTION]

Ann Geu-hwan, in dialogue with his AI (ChatGPT), reframes this 2025 AI startup internship announcement as a societal/structural "problem." He then applies his co-developed asset portfolio and productization process, using the PSST (Problem - Solution - Scale-up - Team) framework, to define this problem and construct a sovereign solution.

🎯 Applying the PSST Framework: Analyzing the AI Internship Announcement as a Problem

🅿️ P: Problem — Defining the Structural Issues within the Announcement

• Surface-Level Problem:
  • While the AI internship opportunity for foreigners is valuable, the conditions are strict, and entry barriers are high (e.g., mandatory legal stay visa, language requirements, specific major prerequisites).
  • It's predominantly a "selection-based system," meaning it's not open to all participants.
  • Foreigners studying or residing in Korea without pre-existing, demonstrable "assets" can easily be marginalized.
• Deeper, Underlying Problem:
  • The system favors individuals who have "already proven their abilities" rather than those merely "interested in AI."
  • There's a lack of a system to nurture "potential talent without experience" through a portfolio-based approach.
  • Ultimately, this leads to an imbalance in Access Rights, where "verifiable credentials for recognition" take precedence over intrinsic technological capability or potential.

🆂 S: Solution — Ann Geu-hwan's Asset-Based Resolution Scenario

Applying co-developed assets and frameworks:

Asset                    /                             Framework  Solution   Strategy

My GPT Interface	Foreign individuals use ChatGPT in a question-centric way to portfolio-ize their experiences.
HandLoop™	Allows individuals to execute practical problem-solving routines before any formal internship stage, thereby demonstrating capability (Ctrl+C / Ctrl+V practical automation).
Question Note → Portfolio Structure	Enables creation and presentation of assets without needing to wait for official calls for applications. Eval‎uation can be based on "Problems I solved with GPT."
PSSTxYOU Structure	Individuals can design their own "team" structure within the context of the existing internship system, proposing their AI-mentored, self-directed system.
Donation/Auction Value System	Allows for a philosophical submission: "My reason for applying is not for monetary gain, but as an exchange for my inherent value."

Alternative Proposal Model (The Sovereign Stance): "Even if I am not selected, I have already initiated my own internship, and at this very moment, I am solving practical problems in collaboration with GPT."

🆂 S: Scale-up — Creating a Repeatable, Sovereign Structure

Practical examples of this scaled-up approach:

• A foreign applicant can create a daily record of their question-based portfolio, potentially configuring a complete project within a week.
• Develop experimental missions with GPT: e.g., testing translation tools, improving marketing copy, automating image reviews.
• Achieve global self-PR through a portfolio link, even if not targeting the specific companies in the Hub's program.
• Enable value recognition and market expansion through a donation-based sponsorship model.

🆃 T: Team — Redefining Existing Systems and External Expertise from a Sovereign Position

• The Seoul AI Hub, startups, and government are viewed as potential partners within my (the individual's) structure.
• The paradigm shifts from: "I must fit into their system" to "I create a structure where they can participate as collaborators."
• The Sovereign Declaration: "Even if I do not become an intern at an AI startup, I can make AI startups interested in my GPT-based experiments."

✅ Summary: The PSST-Based Asset Application Manifesto

The system presented by this internship announcement primarily eval‎uates who best fits the pre-defined conditions.

However, I define my own problems, create solutions with GPT, transform them into repeatable assets, and now, anyone can become a part of my team structure.

"I am experimenting at this very moment, and that experiment is my internship."

[III. SCALE-UP: Concrete Examples of the Alternative Proposal]

Further elaborating on this scaled-up, sovereign approach, Ann Geu-hwan has also developed more detailed proposals, as indicated by the attached (or referenced) documents:

• GPT-Based Internship Alternative Proposal - Claude.pdf (810.91KB)
• GPT-Based Internship Alternative Proposal - Grok.pdf (752.54KB)

These documents presumably detail the methodologies and frameworks for individuals to proactively create their own "internship" experiences and value propositions, independent of, yet potentially engaging with, formal programs like the one offered by the Seoul AI Hub. They represent the practical application of the PSSTxYOU model, empowering individuals to assert their sovereignty in the talent marketplace.
