The government announced that it will promote the ‘AI Semiconductor Initiative’ to continue the growth of the semiconductor sector and to become one of the top three countries (G3) in artificial intelligence (AI). To this end, 9.4 trillion won will be invested, and a separate fund of 1.4 trillion won will be created to nurture AI semiconductor companies.
The Ministry of Science and ICT (Minister Lee Jong-ho) and the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy (Minister Ahn Deok-geun) and other related ministries held a ‘Semiconductor Current Affairs Review Meeting’ at the Yongsan Presidential Office on the 9th . and the promotion of the AI semiconductor enterprise was discussed.
President Yoon Seok-yeol participated in the meeting, and related ministries such as the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, the Ministry of Strategy and Finance, the Ministry of Science and ICT, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, and the Ministry of Environment, as well as related companies such as Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix, Naver, and Sapion Korea, have participated.
President Yoon announced that he would invest 9.4 trillion won in AI and AI semiconductor fields by 2027 and create a 1.4 trillion won fund to help the growth of innovative AI semiconductor companies.
They also announced that they plan to expand the scale of investment support by focusing national research and development capabilities on nine major technological innovations and supporting the overall AI-semiconductor value chain, including talent training and innovation infrastructure, cooperation and world development -wide, and leading AI. ethical standards.
First, in terms of the AI model, ▲ Core technologies such as next-generation general artificial intelligence (AGI) that overcome the limitations of the already produced AI ▲ Small language model (sLM) that maintains current performance even if the size of the large language model (LLM) is reduced to 10%. ) He submitted that he intends to secure the original technology and lead the development of AI technology in a responsible and explainable direction by developing AI security technology.
In the field of AI semiconductors, ▲PIM (Processing in Memory), which applies AI computing functions to high-bandwidth, high-speed memory (HBM) for servers and low-power memory (LPDDR) for on-device AI, and etc. ▲ Implemented based on Korean NPU and neuromorphic AI semiconductors, etc. ‘Low-power K-AP’ AI processor ▲Integration and verification of new semiconductor device research results, packaging-related advanced source technology development, and public-private joint research and development by fabless-chip manufacturing-materials manager -post-processing (OSAT), etc. They announce that they will pursue innovation in ‘advanced packaging technology’ to achieve the world’s best in low power AI semiconductors.
In addition, ▲K-Cloud 2.0, which aims at AI supercomputing, will be promoted, and the core technologies of low-power and high-performance data center-based computing will be developed and based on this, services will Government-wide AI such as intelligent CCTV and digital textbooks are being expanded. ▲ Secure core technologies for AI on the device and promote flagship projects to dominate promising markets. ▲ We are also pursuing the development of next-generation open AI architecture and software technologies, such as SW system required to use AI semiconductors in data centers and to provide AI-based services on a device, and SW that is aware of HW optimized for AI semiconductors. .

In particular, President Yoon continued to promote the establishment of a digital order as proposed in last year’s UN General Assembly keynote speech and the Digital Vision Forum at New York University and Sorbonne University, and held the ‘Seoul AI Summit’ to discuss AI security , innovation, and inclusion in May this year to promote AI He emphasized that he intends to confirm Korea’s global leadership in the code of ethics.
In addition, we plan to use the ‘AI Strategy Top Threat Council’, launched on the 4th for public-private collaboration, as a focal point.
President Yoon Seok-yeol emphasized that “the semiconductor competition is an ‘industrial war’ and a ‘total national war.’ In order to have a total response system equivalent to a wartime situation, the government will completely re-examine investment incentives to attract the semiconductor industry,” he said.
They also announced that they will significantly expand research and development investment in the AI and AI semiconductor fields and create a large-scale fund to help the growth of innovative AI semiconductor companies. The aim was to achieve a share of the global system semiconductor market of more than 10% by 2030, when the mega semiconductor cluster becomes fully operational.
