The National AI Strategy Committee has unveiled an action plan to achieve the world’s number one position in Physical AI by 2030. The strategy focuses on ‘execution’ at the pan-government level, including expanding data centers and accelerating AI transformation (AX) in industries with strengths. The Presidential National AI Strategy Committee held a press conference on the 15th to commemorate the 100th day of the committee’s launch, explaining the committee’s major achievements and the AI action plan, and announced that it would gather opinions from various sectors from the 16th to January 4th next year.
The committee, launched on September 8th, is the nation’s top AI strategy organization and approved the direction of the AI action plan at its first plenary meeting. Subsequently, the committee, composed of private experts, held intensive discussions and inter-ministerial reviews to prepare the AI action plan, which includes 98 tasks. The AI action plan is a national strategy focused on practical ‘execution,’ presenting tasks that each ministry must implement, and is a new form of national strategy.
The AI action plan consists of three policy pillars: creating an AI innovation ecosystem, a national AI-based transformation, and contributing to a global AI basic society, supported by 12 strategic areas. To create an AI innovation ecosystem, the plan includes balanced expansion of large and small data centers based on advanced GPUs and domestic AI semiconductors, and the introduction of a proactive, continuous security inspection system using white hackers. To lead next-generation AI technology, the goal is to achieve the number one position in Physical AI by 2030 by securing core technologies and data and establishing a virtuous cycle system where AI accelerates scientific discovery.
The committee will gather opinions on the AI action plan by publishing it on its website for 20 days and listening to feedback from academia, industry, research, civil society, and major organizations. Through this process, the committee plans to finalize the AI action plan at its second plenary meeting. Vice Chairman Moon-Young Lim emphasized that the committee will closely monitor and adjust the implementation by each ministry to ensure successful outcomes.
