Naver Center Director Ha Jung-woo emphasized that it shouldn’t be appropriate to manage the domestic artificial intelligence (AI) market based on the European Union’s (EU) AI law model, and somewhat, it’s time for lively investment from the federal government. It conveyed the industry’s opposition to the EU-style strong data regulation plan that the federal government is recently pushing.
Center Director Ha Jeong-woo participated within the inaugural general meeting and commemorative seminar of the National Assembly AI Forum held within the 2nd small conference room of the National Assembly Constructing on the twenty sixth and gave a lecture on the subject of ‘Global super AI competition status and implications.’
He made suggestions on the importance of ‘sovereign AI’ and the direction of domestic AI regulation.
“Because AI is sort of a nation’s infrastructure, it would determine national competitiveness,” he said, arguing that the federal government should actively support it.
The Canadian government was cited for example. Last April, Canada set a complete budget of two.4 billion Canadian dollars (roughly 2.4 trillion won) to strengthen AI competitiveness, and invested greater than 80% of the budget, or roughly 2 billion Canadian dollars (roughly 2 trillion won), into computing and technology infrastructure. It has been said that it does.
Center Director Ha said, “For the event of the AI industry, GPU and power supply issues have to be resolved.” Due to this fact, he said, like Canada, we must always concentrate on Sovereign AI research and development by purchasing GPUs under the leadership of the federal government and having a capable private company operate a knowledge center.
In addition they expressed each expectations and concerns concerning the AI Safety Research Institute, which might be established throughout the Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI) this 12 months.
He said, “AI safety is very important in who creates the principles of the sport,” and “ETRI Safety Research Institute will play a very important role in creating the principles of the sport.”
But the largest threat is “the dearth of AI competitiveness,” he said, emphasizing that safety concerns mustn’t stop technological advancement.
At the identical time, after releasing the primary generation AI ‘Hyperclova’ in 2021, Naver will make efforts to secure AI safety by creating an internal framework for AI safety, holding the Red Team Challenge, and developing overseas research centers focused on safety. explained.
Specifically, they expressed strong opposition to the EU-style AI regulation plan. “We’d like to look behind the regulation,” he said. “The explanation the EU recommend 280 billion parameters as a regular for strong regulation of AI models is to maintain in check only American big tech, excluding France’s Mistral and Germany’s Aleph Alpha.”
In other words, the standards of EU AI law are a difficulty that has nothing to do with us, and it shouldn’t be appropriate to cite them as is.
Lastly, he said, “The AI field is a battlefield that determines national competitiveness,” and added, “I feel it’s the federal government’s role to provide it in order that firms on the front lines can fight well.”
Meanwhile, on the event, Kang Hyeon-jung, an attorney at Kim & Chang Law Firm, and Oh Sun-young, a member of the AI Data Division of the Digital Platform Government Committee, also held a session.
Attorney Kang Hyeon-jeong expressed the importance of defining definitions and said, “If the definition of AI is stipulated in the essential law, it shouldn’t be easy to alter and can inevitably have a continuous impact on lower-level laws,” adding, “Defining regulations are as vital as setting the scope of regulation.” said.
Commissioner Oh Soon-young said, “AI shouldn’t be an issue of a particular company or technology, but a very important time in determining national competitiveness,” and expressed concern concerning the situation during which not a single one in every of the 12 AI-related bills proposed to the National Assembly was passed. He then emphasized, “Uncertainty hinders industrial growth, so a ‘purified playing field’ have to be provided to firms through appropriate regulations.”
Meanwhile, the event was hosted by the National Assembly Research Group and sponsored by the National Assembly Library, the Ministry of Science and ICT, and the Korea Web Corporation Association.
