Vice Minister of Economy and Finance Visits AI Training Data Company, Emphasizes "Need to Create Non-Face-to-Face Jobs"

[Sejong=Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyunjung] On the 16th, An Ilhwan, the 2nd Vice Minister of the Ministry of Economy and Finance, visited a site building large-scale AI training data to check the progress and encourage the employees.

The company 'Testworks,' visited by Vice Minister An on that day, is expanding economic activity opportunities for socially vulnerable groups such as career-interrupted women and people with developmental disabilities through crowdsourcing, and is successfully building large-scale AI training data.

The government previously allocated approximately 292.5 billion KRW in the third supplementary budget as a core project of the Digital New Deal to promote the spread of AI applications and foster related industries through the 'AI Training Data Construction' budget.

Vice Minister An mentioned that for innovative growth through the Digital New Deal, the spread of AI applications and fostering related industries are of utmost importance. He stated that by supplying data built by AI training data providers like Testworks as public goods, AI technology-holding but data-deficient AI specialized SMEs will be provided with real opportunities to create products and services.

He also requested efforts from training data construction companies to create non-face-to-face jobs that anyone can perform regardless of place or time in preparation for the post-COVID-19 era. In particular, he urged them to pay close attention to providing jobs for vulnerable employment groups such as career-interrupted women, people with developmental disabilities, and the elderly.
