On September 30, agentic AI startup 42Maru presented its public-sector AI transformation strategy to ICT ministers, vice ministers and senior policymakers from nine countries at the 12th Global ICT Leadership Forum in Seoul. The forum, hosted by Korea's Ministry of Science and ICT and organized by the National Information Society Agency, focused on actionable AI partnerships for global digital shared prosperity.
Around 100 participants, including government officials and development experts, discussed practical ways to collaborate in the age of deepening digital transformation.
During the session "Public-Private Partnership Models for AX," 42Maru CEO D.K. Donghwan Kim shared success stories from Korea's public sector and administration, where AI tailored to a country's administrative data and domains led to workflow automation and productivity gains. Kim stressed the need for organizations to fundamentally redesign their approach to AI, calling for a "AI-first" mindset.
The CEO proposed five policy recommendations to bridge the AI gap between countries and turn public-sector AI into real administrative innovation. These include driving public-convergent and region-anchored AI to address metropolitan concentration and regional decline, providing infrastructure access and pilot support for SMEs, prioritizing public AI to address social challenges, establishing social consensus and legal foundations for the AI era, and redesigning the education system to enable all citizens and public officials to actively use AI in their work.
Korea is actively implementing public-sector AI transformation, from government-wide common platforms to city governments and defense. 42Maru, a market leader in agentic AI that can act, design, and complete complex business processes autonomously, is supporting this effort through its proprietary core technologies and secure private mode, enabling cost-efficient AI transformation across industries and the public sector.
