  • Korea aims to become a top three global player in AI, emphasizing support for research and development and infrastructure.

South Korea has launched a new initiative aimed at developing a world-class artificial intelligence (AI) model to enhance its global competitiveness in AI technology. The initiative, backed by a significant investment of 1.4 trillion won (approximately $1.04 billion), seeks to create an AI model that can rival those developed by leading tech companies like Google, Microsoft, and Meta. The project will focus on building a large language model (LLM) tailored to Korean language and culture, while also ensuring the model's capabilities in various fields such as science, technology, and humanities. This move is part of a broader strategy to foster AI innovation, with plans to collaborate with domestic and international AI experts, and to establish a supportive ecosystem for AI development including data centers and computing infrastructure. The initiative also emphasizes ethical AI development, aiming to address concerns like privacy, security, and fairness in AI applications.
