Deputy Prime Minister Baek Kyung-hoon said his first year in office focused on building a foundation for an AI transition and that it is now time to deliver and prove tangible results. He highlighted progress on a homegrown AI foundation model project and a broader consensus on the need to secure GPUs. The government is pursuing a two-track strategy for domestic and frontier models, preparing a nationwide AI service and advancing plans for data, 6G, R&D and power supply for AI data centres.
