Minister of Science and ICT Bae Kyounghun has set a goal to contribute to the recovery of 3% of progress potential by 2030 by mobilizing all synthetic intelligence (AI) and science and know-how capabilities. At his first press convention held on the twelfth to mark the fiftieth day of his inauguration, Minister Bae stated, “We will become one of the top three AI powers by 2030 and achieve one of the top five science and technology powers,” including, “We will also achieve a basic AI society where everyone uses AI.”
This technique centered on uniting knowledge, infrastructure, R&D, and institutional innovation to unite nationwide capabilities. First of all, infrastructure enlargement is essential. Minister Bae stated, “We will increase the goal of securing graphics processing units (GPUs) from 50,000 to 200,000 by 2030. It is explained that Korea should also establish its own ecosystem at a time when the U.S. and China have already secured hundreds of thousands of copies and maintain a super gap. He emphasized, “We won’t rely solely on Nvidia for GPUs, however introduce home NPUs for inference and make Okay-NVIDIA by 2030.” It also mentioned electricity measures. “It is essential to go to renewable power, however it’s troublesome solely with photo voltaic warmth,” he said, suggesting an energy mix through the development of small module reactors (SMR).
Data and model strategies are summarized as ‘openness and expansion’. “Korea is the No. 1 person in ChatGPT, however there ought to at all times be a substitute,” Minister Bae said. “We will make the greatest various into our personal AI basis mannequin and distribute it as an open supply in order that anybody round the world can use it.” The government will unveil the first Korean-style Large Language Model (LLM) at the end of this year through five consortiums, and gradually expand it to multimodal models next year and behavioral models (LAMs). “Okay-AI goals for openness and inclusion,” he said, adding, “We can even think about making AI vouchers and offering them to college students and the aged at no cost.”
R&D system innovation is also carried out in order to increase the country’s growth potential. The plan is to abolish the short-term performance-oriented PBS system and switch to a large mission-oriented task. Minister Bae said, “The analysis website has misplaced belief due to price range cuts earlier, however we want to create a secure analysis setting,” and emphasized, “We will make Korea a horny nation for R&D inside 5 years.” The government plans to operate AX Graduate School from next year to cultivate 5,000 field-type talents by 2030.
Institutional reforms will also be promoted to support corporate innovation. As the Ministry of Science and ICT is upgraded to the level of deputy prime minister, a meeting of science and technology and AI-related ministers will be established to reduce partitions between ministries and coordinate budget duplication. Minister Bae explained, “If every ministry pushes forward with the challenge individually, inefficiency will happen,” adding, “We will run a ministerial assembly to coordinate assist and create a session construction that collects opinions.”
Manufacturing innovation strategies through ‘Physical AI’ were also presented. Minister Bae said, “I feel bodily AI has time for Korea to enter,” adding, “We will strengthen our competitiveness by accumulating specialised knowledge in main industries equivalent to manufacturing, medical care, shipbuilding, protection, and contents.” He also said, “If AI is used as a colleague of a researcher fairly than a software, Nobel-level achievements might be achieved,” adding, “We can obtain leads to fixing challenges equivalent to Alzheimer’s.”
