AA says South Korea among world\'s top three in AI, needs AGI race to catch U.S., China

A global AI assessment body said South Korea has quickly risen to become one of the world’s top three AI countries on the back of its sovereign foundation model project. Artificial Analysis said South Korean models still lag top U.S. and Chinese models on intelligence, but competitiveness should not be judged by scores alone given large cost gaps and the flexibility of open-weight models. It said South Korea should focus on strengths such as advanced manufacturing while continuing to develop general-purpose capabilities, including AI for science, agents and coding.
