South Korea Urges Continued AI Development to Build Global Competitiveness
(MENAFN) South Korea should maintain the pace of artificial intelligence development as it works to narrow the gap with leading countries and open new markets, the country’s science minister said Wednesday.
“It is an entirely different matter for a country already ahead to adjust its pace, than for a nation that is catching up while simultaneously having to create new markets to slow down,” Science Minister Bae Kyung-hoon said in a social media post.
“We cannot afford to slow down the pace of AI development,” he added.
Bae warned that differences in access to advanced AI systems capable of approaching human-level intelligence could have consequences extending well beyond the technology sector.
He said the gap could affect industrial competitiveness, national security and the prospects for long-term economic expansion, particularly for countries that fall behind in developing frontier AI capabilities.
At the same time, Bae said faster technological progress should not come at the expense of safety or public confidence, stressing that safeguards and trust need to develop alongside AI.
His remarks come as governments and technology leaders continue to debate how quickly advanced AI should progress and what oversight should accompany its development.
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and SpaceXAI's Elon Musk have advocated slowing the development of frontier AI systems to give safety measures more time to advance, while also calling for stronger independent oversight.
