How pycon KR contributed to AX in IT-less industry

In South Korea, much of the economy still relies on traditional industry — manufacturing, steel, oil refining, construction. Yet only a handful of these companies use software or AI to its full potential. I've encountered firms with over $100M in revenue spending less than $3,000 a year on software — where, in practice, the only tool is KakaoTalk. Over the past two years, I've found that community — especially one built by members from diverse backgrounds, including non-technical people — can play a crucial role in national-scale AX (AI transformation). In this talk, I'll share what I've experienced firsthand: real cases of community-driven AX, the limits I ran into, and how we worked to overcome them — and how Python and its community make these cases actually work in practice.
