South Korea's Minister of Science and Technology Bae Kyung-hoon stated on Monday that the big model of cutting-edge artificial intelligence may evolve into a geo-strategic asset comparable to nuclear weapons, and reiterated that South Korea must independently develop a large-scale local cutting-edge AI model. Just a month ago, the US government suddenly banned overseas users from using Anthropic's top models, Fable and Mythos, on security grounds. Baekyung-hoon coincided with his first year as minister. At the relevant conference, he stated, “The big models of cutting-edge AI are increasingly having strategic attributes like nuclear weapons, and the demands of some countries to control such top-level AI systems will only grow stronger.” He added, “We are developing special plans and actively coordinating all relevant departments within the government. Korea must rise to the challenge and develop its own cutting-edge AI models to create world-class artificial intelligence competitiveness.”
