Hajungwoo took office as full-time vice chair of the National Artificial Intelligence Strategy Committee and began official duties on the 31st. In his inaugural remarks, Vice Chair Hajungwoo identified the 3 major mega projects centered on semiconductors, physical AI, and AI data centers (AIDC), along with a national AI transformation, as top priorities for national AI policy.
The committee set out as its operating direction the mobilization of national capabilities to propel the country into the ranks of the world's top 3 AI powers. It also outlined as an operating direction the AI transformation of industry, the public sector, and daily life, as well as the realization of "AI for All," in which every citizen can benefit from AI.
The 3 pillars of Vice Chair Hajungwoo's proposed "3 major mega projects for a great leap forward for the Republic of Korea" are semiconductors, physical AI, and AIDC. To put them into action, the committee plans to strengthen cross-government policy coordination and deepen public-private cooperation around the 3 major mega projects.
It also plans to pursue a vision that connects semiconductors, AI infrastructure, and the manufacturing and robotics industries. It has also envisioned building a linked AI ecosystem in which private investment and technology development lead to industrial growth.
While moving ahead with AI transformation at industrial sites and key projects, the government plans to expand the scope of AI adoption across industry, research, education, healthcare, administration, and public services. It also plans to foster regional industrial bases and talent by linking them with the 3 major mega projects as new growth engines.
To this end, the government will strengthen the National AI Strategy Committee's cross-ministerial coordination function. Vice Chair Hajungwoo said he would promptly decide on necessary policies, actively mediate issues among ministries, and boldly resolve obstacles on the ground.
In parallel with nurturing the AI industry, the government will also promote "AI for All." The goal of "AI for All" is to improve public access to AI, and the policy direction is focused on preventing the benefits of AI from concentrating in specific companies or social groups and spreading them across society regardless of region, generation, or class.
The government will also place emphasis on policy implementation and performance management, and the National AI Strategy Committee will begin reviewing the linkage among policies, projects, investment, and industrial growth for the Republic of Korea's AI action plan and the 3 major mega projects. The committee plans to review progress and support necessary tasks.
Vice Chair Hajungwoo said that a good strategy is only the starting point and that the key is execution and results. He then expressed his determination to push ahead without setback with the 3 major mega projects for a great leap forward for the Republic of Korea and the national AI transformation, and said that through this he aims to help the Republic of Korea leap forward as an "irreplaceable Korea" needed by the world. He also said he would carry out every role necessary to achieve this.
