Beyond Supporting AI Subscription Fees, Expanding into a Community: Daejeon City's 'Youth AI Universal Welfare' Model Daejeon City is implementing a 'Youth AI Universal Welfare' model that goes beyond simply supporting AI subscription fees, focusing on creating a community. On the 22nd, Daejeon City announced that it will expand its 'AI subscription fee support project' for young people, which has been in pilot operation since last July, into a community. The 'AI subscription fee support project' is a project that provides 20,000 won per month for one year to support the subscription fees of various AI services such as language learning, mental health, and career development for young people aged 19-39. Last year, 3,000 young people from 7 districts in Daejeon participated in the pilot project, and an analysis of their usage showed that they used an average of 7.3 services per person, showing a high interest and utilization rate in AI services. Daejeon City plans to expand the number of participants to 10,000 this year and operate a community site where participants can share usage experiences and opinions on AI services. In addition, it plans to provide various contents such as AI service utilization education, usage tips, and expert lectures, and to support the development of new AI services for youth through a 'Youth AI service development support project' in collaboration with local universities and companies. Daejeon City explained that the 'Youth AI Universal Welfare' model is a customized welfare model that supports young people's needs by providing various AI services and creating a community, and that it plans to use it as a model for future universal welfare policies. An official from Daejeon City said, "We expect that the 'Youth AI Universal Welfare' model will be a new standard for universal welfare policies in the future," and added, "We will make efforts to support young people's needs and promote their development through AI services."

• Dicio is a free, open-source Android voice assistant.
• Operates entirely on-device for privacy and security.
• Lacks messaging, email, and Android Auto compatibility.
