Global Partnerships in AI

Professor Hosung Jo explains in this video why global alliances with the US and EU are vital for Korea's AI strategy.

Korea has adopted a Cloud First Policy for public services, demonstrated during COVID-19 when e-learning moved to Naver Cloud and tax offices deployed AI chatbots for citizens. KISTI’s Nurion supercomputer ranks in the global top 20, showing government commitment to driving AI adoption through cloud infrastructure. Korea is expanding its cloud presence internationally, with Naver Cloud building data centers in Singapore and Vietnam, and KT Cloud partnering with Hyundai AutoEver on automotive platforms. The target is to become Asia’s AI hub by 2030. Korea acts as a bridge between East and West, having joined the Global Partnership on AI (GPAI) in 2020 with partners including the U.S., EU, Canada, and Japan. These partnerships are essential for sharing data, research, and cloud resources, as Korea alone cannot match the global scale of datasets, GPUs, and skilled experts required for AI leadership.
