00:00While the world is debating the need to slow down the pace of AI development,
00:04the South Korean government has made the exact opposite choice.
00:08Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Science and ICT Byung-hoon-bae
00:11said today that what South Korea needs right now is not slowing down the pace,
00:16but taking responsibility for it.
00:19The government plans to invest 4 trillion, 1 in 7, future technologies next year,
00:25including small modular nuclear fusion reactors and quantum space aviation,
00:30and to spend more than 200 trillion won on national R&D over the next five years,
00:34thanks to a driving system in which 15 ministries work together to connect proof of concept,
00:40testing all the way, through to commercialization,
00:43at the core of This is the K-Moonshot strategy,
00:46which uses a supercomputer with a scale of 8,000 graphics,
00:50processing units to tackle difficult AI problems for new drug development,
00:54nuclear fusion, and robotics.
00:58Putting that many graphics, processing units into a government,
01:02research supercomputer, means that domestic AI, infrastructure investment,
01:06is expanding by that amount.
01:08This is a good moment to keep an eye on the related semiconductor demand as well.
