A legal basis has been established to support the development of the regional AI industry as a future industry in Dong-gu, Gwangju.

Noh Jinseong, a member of the Dong-gu District Council in Gwangju, announced on the 18th that the "Ordinance on the Promotion and Support of the Artificial Intelligence Industry in Dong-gu, Gwangju" has passed the standing committee review.

Dong-gu, Gwangju is already pursuing projects such as the creation of an AI healthcare startup complex center and the establishment of a self-health management platform in response to the increasing number of single-person households.

The main contents include the establishment and implementation of a basic plan every five years, as well as providing grounds to support various AI-related fields, such as attracting and fostering promising AI companies or research institutes.

Councilor Noh stated, "The artificial intelligence industry is a core growth engine for the future and a high value-added industry. I hope that by proactively and systematically fostering and supporting related industries, this will serve as an opportunity to attract young people and create jobs."
