The Presidential Commission on National Artificial Intelligence (AI), directly under the President, will be launched next month.

According to the Presidential Office on the 19th, the National AI Commission has completed preparations such as the composition of its members and is scheduled to officially launch next month.

The chairman will be President Yoon Seok-yeol. Yeom Jae-ho, president of Taejae University, among others, is reportedly being considered for the vice-chairman position.

A senior official from the Presidential Office stated, "A commission chaired by the President is set to be launched."

In April, at the 'Semiconductor Issue Review Meeting' held at the Yongsan Presidential Office, President Yoon said that to realize the AI semiconductor initiative and leap to a G3 country in AI technology, public-private cooperation is crucial, and announced the establishment of the National AI Commission.

Last month, President Yoon also announced a comprehensive semiconductor industry support plan worth a total of 26 trillion won, including a 17 trillion won 'Semiconductor Financial Support Program.'
