✦ AI Summary
KACI announced on the 28th a proposal to rename its existing "PaaS Support Subcommittee" to the "AI Native Platform (ANP) Subcommittee," and formally approved it at its 15th regular meeting.
The change was driven by the rapid advancement of AI technologies such as generative AI and AI agents, and it expands from the PaaS foundation to AI platforms and cloud native technologies.
The subcommittee plans to broaden its scope into a platform ecosystem covering the entire process of AI development, deployment, operations, and diffusion, while also strengthening policy proposals, communication with the government, and field support.
The Korea AI Cloud Industry Association (KACI) said on the 28th that it has proposed changing the name of its existing "PaaS Support Subcommittee" to the "AI Native Platform (ANP) Subcommittee." KACI held the 15th regular meeting of the PaaS Support Subcommittee and formally approved the related agenda item at the meeting.
KACI plans to expand the subcommittee's role and broaden the industry ecosystem in line with the AI era. The change was driven by the rapid advancement of AI technologies such as generative AI and AI agents, and it builds on the existing PaaS industry foundation while widening the focus to AI platforms and cloud native technologies.
Through this move, the target scope will expand into a platform ecosystem that covers the entire process of AI development, deployment, operations, and diffusion. Meanwhile, attendees at the 15th regular meeting of the PaaS Support Subcommittee took a commemorative photo, which was provided by KACI.
As the center of competition in the AI industry shifts from securing infrastructure such as GPU and data centers and developing models to the stage of reliably implementing and operating AI in real industrial and business environments, the subcommittee plans to gradually expand participation beyond existing PaaS specialists to include companies involved in AI platforms and cloud native technologies and services, in line with its phased expansion policy.
It will also strengthen its role as a private-sector policy consultative body and reinforce its policy proposals and communication with the government. In the future, the subcommittee will focus on proposing the industrial scope, technical framework, and standardization direction of PaaS and AI Native platforms in the AI era; supporting the spread of public-sector AI Native and cloud native adoption; easing dependence on specific technologies while ensuring interoperability, portability, and technology neutrality; and making proposals on government support programs and budgets to expand R&D, demonstration projects, and commercialization in the domestic platform industry.
The plan is to pursue policy communication and support for the industrial field in parallel. It will push ahead with National Assembly forums and policy roundtables, convey on-site difficulties, and at the same time identify actual demand centered on manufacturing, finance, public services, and healthcare, support matching between demand-side and supply-side companies, and help spread best practices.
Jeong Cheol, chair of the AI Native Platform Subcommittee and CEO of Namu AX, said that the condition for fully building competitiveness in the AI era lies not just in securing infrastructure and models, but in platform competitiveness that supports rapid service implementation, stable operation, and diffusion of technology. He also said the restructuring would serve as an opportunity to redefine the role of the domestic PaaS industry based on its accumulated technology and experience, and expressed his determination to serve as a key policy channel linking the government, the National Assembly, and the field.
Kim Bong-gyun, chairman of the Korea AI Cloud Industry Association and CEO of kt cloud, said that following the launch of the association, it is redefining the role of its field-level consultative body in step with market trends in the convergence of AI and cloud. He added that the association would actively support the domestic platform technology base in taking root as a foundation for AI industry growth, centered on the AI Native Platform Subcommittee.
