South Korea\'s National AI Strategy Committee said on May 14 it completed a first-quarter review of 326 tasks under the country\'s AI action plan. It found 288 tasks, or 88.3 percent, were proceeding as planned, while 38 needed supplementation. Steps cited included passage of a special law to promote the AI data centre industry, allocation of 13,000 advanced GPUs and new tenders for large-scale GPU projects.

South Korea has published a guide outlining how to assess fair use under copyright law when copyrighted works are used to train generative AI, and said it will pursue institutional improvements to support coexistence between the AI and cultural industries. The guide explains four assessment factors and says commercial use or web-crawling methods are not automatically excluded. The government also plans to strengthen rights-information infrastructure, link data systems and expand licensing options for public works.
