South Korean Deputy Prime Minister: Unable to bear the slowdown of AI progress

The South Korean Deputy Prime Minister stated on Wednesday that South Korea must continue to advance artificial intelligence development without pause or delay, clearly expressing its stance in the global discussion about the pace of this technology's development.

South Korea is home to memory chip companies such as Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, and is also one of the main beneficiaries of the artificial intelligence data center boom, with related demand driving vigorous procurement of the country's semiconductors and hardware. The country's population is approximately 52 million, and it cannot slow its progress in the direction proposed by Anthropic and OpenAI leaders, as suggested by American artificial intelligence model developers.
