Sangjo Kim, Blue House Policy Chief, "100,000 Youth Jobs for Data Labeling"

KBS Radio Appearance, Explaining Korea New Deal Project as a 'Primer'... "Silicon Valley Also Created Through Expansion of Experience"

[Asia Economy Reporter Ryu Jeong-min] Kim Sang-jo, Chief Presidential Secretary for Policy, appeared on KBS Radio's 'Kim Kyung-rae's Strongest Current Affairs' on the morning of the 17th and, when asked about the catalyst for the 'Korean New Deal' project, stated, "People often talk about data, big data, and cloud, but these do not come about on their own. Although it was included in the third supplementary budget this time, there is a task called data labeling."

Kim said, "Simply inputting individual data does not make the computer recognize it; it must be processed into a form that the computer can read. This data needs to be gathered in one place and a channel for utilization must be created," adding, "This part is difficult for the private sector to handle alone. The government's role is to create such systems, and this is the catalyst."

In particular, Kim emphasized, "There are also 100,000 youth jobs included for data labeling. The plan includes creating opportunities for young people to take on better challenges through experience. These projects are included as signature projects under the Data Dam."

Kim explained, "The idea is to create an ecosystem where small companies and young people can develop new business models," and added, "The data labeling work itself is simple, but through doing it within organizations, the experience gained can be applied to other fields."

Kim stated, "This leads to the expansion of experience. Silicon Valley was created in this way," and said, "It was not perfectly designed from the start. The Korean New Deal’s other core is to make it a concept that evolves through collaboration between the government and the private sector, as well as between the central government and local governments."

Kim added, "For example, would President Roosevelt or Keynes have anticipated the order to be established after World War II? No. It was both a revolution and an evolution."
