According to the ministry, 62.7 billion won (approximately US$45.5 million) will be allocated toward AI factory development, 21.6 billion won (around US$15.7 million) for AI chip advancements, and 120.6 billion won (approximately US$87.6 million) will support self-driving car technologies.

The South Korean government has also earmarked 68 billion won (approximately US$49.4 million) to support AI projects in the biotechnology sector, alongside 29.6 billion won (around US$21.5 million) for the development of intelligent robotics, and 13.8 billion won (approximately US$10 million) to enhance display technologies. These investments reflect a broad push to integrate AI across diverse industrial fields.

In addition to these initiatives, the ministry plans to develop foundational AI models tailored for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), helping them improve quality control, precision manufacturing, and other production processes.

Further efforts will focus on advancing key components that impact AI performance, including AI semiconductors and sensors. This comprehensive approach aims to strengthen the country’s AI infrastructure, positioning South Korea to gain a competitive advantage in the rapidly evolving global AI landscape.

Highlighting the nation’s industrial strength, the ministry stated that South Korea, as the world’s fourth-largest manufacturing hub, has significant potential to lead in industrial AI. It pledged to continue expanding investments to solidify the country’s position at the forefront of AI-driven innovation.
