Baek Kyung-hoon says now is physical AI golden time, pushes cross-ministry AIDC task force
South Korea plans to create a future response fund using what it forecasts as record tax revenue in 2027 and concentrate spending on three mega-projects: semiconductors, AI data centres (AIDC) and physical AI. Science and ICT Minister Baek Kyung-hoon said the race to secure a general-purpose physical AI platform has entered a full-scale phase. The ministry plans to expand AIDC capacity to 8.4 GW by 2029 and 18.4 GW by 2035, backed by up to 1,000 trillion won in phases.
