The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy announced on the morning of the 7th that it held an expert meeting on 'New Industrial Policy in the AI Era' attended by Minister Andeok Geun and domestic experts from the AI field in industry and academia. The meeting was attended by former KT CEO Koo Hyun-mo, KAIST AI Graduate School Professor Choi Jae-sik (CEO of InEasy), Baek Jun-ho, CEO of Furiosa, and Lee Byung-gon, Vice President of DN Solutions.

Professor Choi Jae-sik, who delivered the presentation, pointed out that "the level of AI technology in the manufacturing sector is relatively low compared to global leading countries," and emphasized that "there will be a significant performance gap between leaders and followers in developing and adopting AI technology by 2030," urging the government to pursue policies with a sense of urgency.

Minister Andeok Geun of the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy stated, "As AI is developing very rapidly, I agree that 'speed' is very important in establishing utilization strategies," and added, "Following the autonomous manufacturing strategy in May, we plan to announce the 'AI Design Diffusion Strategy' in June."

Last month on the 8th, the Ministry launched the 'New Industrial Policy in the AI Era' committee and announced the 'AI Autonomous Manufacturing Strategy 1.0.' Since then, it plans to release a series of strategies monthly for each sector, including design, research and development (R&D), AI semiconductors, and energy.
