[Invitation seat] 1 year of national strategy establishment for artificial intelligence, what has been achieved so far?

<Anchor>

One of the key drivers of the 4th industrial revolution is artificial intelligence.

Major countries around the world are consolidating their capabilities to secure the leadership of artificial intelligence. Today (27th), I will discuss this issue with Choi Ki-young, Minister of Science, ICT, and ICT.

[Ki-Young Choi/Minister of Science and Technology Information and Communication: President Moon Jae-in established an artificial intelligence national strategy in December of last year, and it has been about a year, and it was such an event to look back on the achievements in that year.]

[Ki-young Choi/Minister of Science and Technology Information and Communication: If you ask me to pick one important thing, then I would say that the data dam was built in connection with the Digital New Deal.

Data dams may sound a bit unfamiliar, but it will be something that collects and uses a lot of data like a dam in a river.

Here, by the end of this year, 191 kinds of artificial intelligence learning data will be collected.

I am looking forward to seeing many industrial ecosystems there.

We also developed various services related to artificial intelligence.

We are also training those core talents now.

45 advanced departments have been created, and 8 artificial intelligence graduate schools have now been established.

In addition, the Innovation Academy is currently educating 850 people, and semiconductors are very important to implement artificial intelligence.

So, for the development of the semiconductor, we announced the artificial intelligence semiconductor industry development strategy and that in October.

In relation to it, we also started such a business for that large-scale R&D.

In addition, in order to utilize data well, some laws are needed, but the 3rd Data Act has also passed, so we are doing our best to prepare for the future AI era.]

[Ki-Young Choi/Minister of Science and Technology Information and Communication: It was such a semiconductor chip that commercializes the first semiconductor chip in Korea, but there was such a company that announced it.

Other than that, there was a company that was preparing to unveil the world's best artificial intelligence robot technology and make good use of the data industry.

There have been various such corporate announcements.]

[Ki-Young Choi/Minister of Science and Technology Information and Communication: Memory is very important for artificial intelligence semiconductors.

When you look at the human brain, it's actually full of memory.

Fortunately, Korea has the world's best memory-related technology, design technology or manufacturing technology.

So, if you use it well, I think Korea has enough potential.

However, I think that the integration of memory and process in particular will be very important in the future, but in the field of artificial intelligence chip development and artificial intelligence semiconductors of such a new concept, I think that Korea has many opportunities, so I think it is quite positive. ]

[Ki-Young Choi/Minister of Science and Technology Information and Communication: In fact, if artificial intelligence is used well, it will be very helpful, but as you said, it has such a dysfunction.

So, if misuse or especially if data is biased, artificial intelligence that has learned from that data can be very biased.

So, the government has been thinking about that, and in order to prevent such a problem, it has now come up with such a standard for national AI ethics.

In addition, the law is being reorganized.

Regarding, let's make good use of such artificial intelligence and promote such projects together.]
