Race to foster AI data centres; industry calls for deregulation and tax credits

Industry figures called for developing AI data centres as \"AI factories\" that produce computing resources, citing job creation and regional balanced development. At a forum hosted by the Korea Telecommunications Operators Association in Seoul, an SK Telecom executive urged attracting big tech AI computing demand and building domestic production hubs, while calling for deregulation and tax credits. Speakers also outlined planned sub-regulations for a special AI data centre law, including power-capacity criteria, streamlined permits and special zones outside the capital region.
