Ghibli-Style Profile Picture Trend : Generative AI Goes Mainstream |
Recently, the popularity of "Ghibli-style profile pictures" on social media has significantly boosted interest in AI-generated image technology, both domestically and internationally.
Driven by this trend, ChatGPT's daily active users in Korea have surpassed 1.2 million for the first time, an important milestone expected to fuel further expansion of ChatGPT’s paid services. Generative AI is no longer limited to images but is also increasingly transforming video production, signaling a major shift in content creation.
In particular, AI video-generation startup Runway has been gaining attention with its latest model, Gen-4, which excels in maintaining scene consistency while expressing distinctive visual styles. Together with OpenAI’s Sora, Runway’s Gen-4 is leading innovation in the AI video-generation market.
As AI technology seamlessly integrates into content creation, it is becoming increasingly accessible, extending beyond professional users and deeply embedding itself into everyday life. This shift underscores the growing need for AI-driven digital transformation (DX) across all industries.
Spacebank is actively aligning itself with this evolving trend by delivering practical and effective AI DX solutions.
As AI technologies become increasingly embedded in daily life, organizations are recognizing the need to quickly adopt and integrate these innovations into their business operations. Spacebank addresses this demand by offering efficient and realistic AI DX solutions, providing tangible support to our clients in their digital transformation journey.

AI Emerges as the Core of Global Industry |
Recently, the AI industry has experienced unprecedented growth, attracting significant attention from global enterprises.
OpenAI, a leading force in generative AI technology, has secured approximately $40 billion (around 59 trillion KRW) in funding from investors like SoftBank and Microsoft, reaching a valuation of roughly 443 trillion KRW. This represents the largest investment ever in innovative technologies, highlighting AI’s transition from a passing trend to a core component of global industry.
Meanwhile, Elon Musk’s xAI has intensified competition by acquiring social media platform X (formerly Twitter) and absorbing the AI video-generation startup Hotshot, accelerating the integration of content, platforms, and AI technologies.
As AI increasingly becomes central to business operations, it is essential for companies to develop customized digital transformation (DX) solutions. Going beyond mere adoption of technology, establishing practical, AI-driven DX strategies is becoming critical to maintaining competitive advantage in today’s evolving marketplace.
Spacebank provides tailored AI DX solutions designed specifically to meet the real-world operational needs of B2B clients across diverse industries.
To help businesses achieve sustainable competitiveness amidst rapidly evolving global technologies, Spacebank continuously supports practical digital transformation through ongoing technology development and customized consulting services.
Today, AI technology is becoming universally accessible—not only to specialists but also to everyday users. Spacebank remains committed to delivering practical yet expert AI DX solutions, ensuring that digital transformation efforts result in meaningful innovation rather than mere adoption.

Spacebank's "Safety Monitoring Solution" has been officially designated as an Innovative Product by the Public Procurement Service! ๐
This means the solution can now be prioritized for adoption by public institutions, laying a solid foundation for broader and faster integration across various sectors.
The solution uses non-contact sensors to monitor vital signs in real-time—including heart rate, breathing patterns, and fall detection—sending immediate alerts in emergencies. Its standout feature is AI-based analytics, enabling early detection of unusual signs and preventing accidents before they occur.
In fact, this solution has already been implemented at the Baekdudaegan National Arboretum’s Seed Vault, successfully passing security validation aligned with international standards. ๐ฒ๐
This designation by the Public Procurement Service is more than just recognition—it’s a meaningful first step towards protecting public safety.
Spacebank will continue to deliver smart, human-centered technology to create a safer, better world.
