According to the plan, South Korea aims to double its memory chip production capacity within the next five years and launch an AI chatbot for the general public and a unified AI education platform in the second half of this year.

In addition, South Korea plans to establish a strategic investment account and a National Growth Fund to expand long-term capital support for strategic industries such as artificial intelligence, quantum technology, cybersecurity, and blockchain.
