The Ministry of Science and ICT (Minister Lee Jong-ho) announced that it could implement the Artificial Intelligence Semiconductor Graduate School Project to nurture advanced masters and doctors in the factitious intelligence (AI) semiconductor industry from the 14th to March seventeenth.

This project is a latest project established to boost technological competitiveness within the AI ​​semiconductor field and create a promising latest market. In 2023, three graduate schools might be chosen to support 3 billion won per 12 months, a complete of 16.4 billion won (2023-2028). am.

Through this, the Ministry of Science and ICT goals to nurture around 500 world-class AI semiconductor design and AI/software experts over the subsequent six years, and announced that it should start training latest students from the autumn semester of 2023.

Universities should organize specialized curriculums that may secure AI semiconductor design and software/AI capabilities, and secure excellent researchers corresponding to system software experts (no less than 7 full-time faculty members).

As well as, to boost practical capabilities corresponding to semiconductor manufacturing experience, subjects corresponding to corporate participation projects are organized, and industry-university cooperation is strengthened, corresponding to corporate internships and fabless student startup support in reference to this, and joint research and education with world-class universities within the AI ​​semiconductor field are supported. plan.

Jeon Young-soo, Director General of Information and Communication Industry Policy on the Ministry of Science and ICT said, “As AI spreads across all industries, corresponding to data centers, autonomous driving, and the Web of Things, using AI semiconductors is expanding in various fields.” We’ll further solidify the creation of an industrial ecosystem in promising future fields and do our greatest to secure national technological sovereignty.”

Details of the project announcement may be found on the web site of the Ministry of Science and ICT, the pan-departmental integrated research support system, and the National Institute of Information and Communication Planning and Evaluation.
