The federal government announced that it’s going to promote the 'AI-Semiconductor Initiative' to proceed the expansion of the semiconductor sector and to change into one in every of the highest three countries (G3) in artificial intelligence (AI). To this end, 9.4 trillion won will probably be invested, and a separate fund of 1.4 trillion won will probably be created to foster AI semiconductor firms.
The Ministry of Science and ICT (Minister Lee Jong-ho) and the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy (Minister Ahn Deok-geun) and other related ministries held a 'semiconductor current affairs inspection meeting' on the Yongsan Presidential Office on the ninth and discussed the promotion of the AI semiconductor initiative.
President Yoon Seok-yeol participated within the meeting, and related ministries similar to the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, Ministry of Strategy and Finance, Ministry of Science and ICT, Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, and Ministry of Environment, in addition to related firms similar to Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix, Naver, and Sapion Korea, participated.
President Yoon announced that he would invest 9.4 trillion won in AI and AI semiconductor fields by 2027 and create a fund price 1.4 trillion won to assist the expansion of progressive AI semiconductor firms.
Additionally they announced that they plan to expand the dimensions of investment support by focusing national research and development capabilities on nine major technological innovations, and support your complete AI-semiconductor value chain, including talent training and innovation infrastructure, global cooperation and advancement, and leading AI ethical standards.
First, regarding the AI model, ▲ Core technologies similar to next-generation general artificial intelligence (AGI) that overcome the restrictions of existing generated AI ▲ Small language model (sLM) that maintains existing performance even when the dimensions of the big language model (LLM) is reduced to 10%. ) He introduced that he plans to secure the unique technology and lead the event of AI technology in a responsible and explainable direction through the event of AI safety technology.
In the sector of AI semiconductors, ▲PIM (Processing in Memory), which applies AI calculation functions to high-bandwidth, high-speed memory (HBM) for servers and low-power memory (LPDDR) for on-device AI, etc. ▲Implemented based on Korean NPU and neuromorphic AI semiconductors, etc. 'Low-power K-AP', an AI processor that will be They announced that they are going to pursue innovation in 'advanced packaging technology' to realize the world's best in the sector of low-power AI semiconductors.
As well as, ▲K-Cloud 2.0, which goals for AI supercomputing, will probably be promoted, and data center-based low-power and high-performance computing core technologies linked to the advancement of domestic AI semiconductors will probably be developed and based on this, government-wide AI services similar to intelligent CCTV and digital textbooks will probably be expanded. ▲Secure core technologies for on-device AI and promote flagship projects to dominate promising markets. ▲We’re also pursuing the event of next-generation open AI architecture and software technology, similar to system SW required to utilize AI semiconductors in data centers and on-device AI-based services, and HW-aware SW optimized for AI semiconductors.
Specifically, President Yoon continued to advertise the establishment of a digital order proposed in last yr's UN General Assembly keynote speech and the Digital Vision Forum at Recent York University and Sorbonne University, and held the 'AI Seoul Summit' to debate AI safety, innovation, and inclusion in May of this yr to advance AI. He emphasized that he plans to solidify Korea's global leadership within the code of ethics.
As well as, we plan to make use of the 'AI Strategy Highest Threat Council', which was launched on the 4th for public-private cooperation, as a focus.
President Yoon Seok-yeol emphasized that “semiconductor competition is an ‘industrial war’ and an ‘all-out national war.’ As a way to have an all-out response system akin to a wartime situation, the federal government will completely reexamine investment incentives to draw the semiconductor industry,” he said. “We are going to comprehensively compare and analyze the investment environment and support systems to organize daring support measures tailored to our country’s circumstances,” he promised.
Additionally they announced that they are going to significantly expand R&D investment within the AI and AI semiconductor fields and create a large-scale fund to assist the expansion of progressive AI semiconductor firms. The goal was to realize a worldwide system semiconductor market share of greater than 10% by 2030, when the semiconductor mega cluster begins full operation.
