South Korea’s National Assembly Science, ICT, Broadcasting and Communications Committee has selected AI infrastructure as its first joint policy agenda for the second half of the 22nd parliament. The panel aims to identify legislative and institutional tasks to support the government’s three mega-projects. At a forum in Seoul, participating companies called for faster permits, expanded tax support, a dedicated organisation and regulatory streamlining.
