Park Taewan, Director General at the Ministry of Science and ICT, stated, "As emphasized at the APEC Summit, for Korea to become one of the top three AI powerhouses, it is essential not only to have technological prowess but also the universality to be chosen on the global stage. We will actively support global standardization activities alongside securing independent AI models and fostering physical AI to enhance our technological competitiveness."
