The federal government will begin a preliminary feasibility study for the event of the following generation of general intelligence (AGI).
The Ministry of Science and ICT (Minister Sang -im Yoo) held the first National R & D Project Evaluation Committee in 2025 on the twenty fourth and confirmed the outcomes of the number of preliminary feasibility studies within the 4th National R & D Project in 2024.
This included the ‘AGI core source technology development project for the understanding and application of the actual world.’ This can be a project to research and secure the world’s first and highest core source technology to attain the second stage of AGI by 2032.
The Ministry of Science and Technology, the AGI stage 2, ▲ performance that surpasses humans in the actual world ▲ generalization of data throughout various domains ▲ smooth collaboration with people and other artificial intelligence systems ▲ learning easy methods to autonomously generate recent tools ▲ It was explained by securing the flexibility to follow appropriately.
On this project, the human -level understanding and application ability (cognitive and expression artificial intelligence), the buildup and growth ability of memory and autonomous knowledge (memory and growth artificial intelligence), adaptation for interaction and motion, And plans to develop source technology to implement performance (embodiment and connection artificial intelligence).

This goals to cut back the dependence on overseas AI technology in the long term and contribute to the creation of latest markets and productivity. The Ministry of Science and Technology said, “The event of next -generation AGIs requires huge investment costs and duration, but Korea’s private AI investment is lower than the world’s investment.” It was chosen. ”
In the long run, the small print and scope of the project will probably be specified. The Ministry of Science and Technology said, “We’ll actively care for the characteristics of AGI, the unknown area of AGI, the need and conductivity of the event and securing AGI core source technology.
After passing the Yeta, the AGI development project will probably be held for seven years from 2026 to 2032, and the entire project cost is 931.3 billion won. Amongst them, the national treasury will invest 887.5 billion won and the private sector will invest 43.8 billion won.
Ryu Kwang -jun, head of the Science and Technology Innovation Division, said, “The mission of the Science and Technology Innovation Headquarters in 2025 is a full -fledged change in investments, and a full -fledged change to leading research and development.” “We’ll fastidiously consider the general business in order that investments can result in the perfect performance.”
