Three South Korean tech conglomerates, SK Telecom, KT Corp. and Kakao Corp., are set to unveil AI services they developed under a government-led initiative later this month. The AI for All project, launched in July, aims to make AI accessible to all South Korean citizens by 2027. The government requires at least 50% of these services to utilize domestic AI models, with funding and GPU support provided.
Each company targets 5 million monthly active users, with Kakao aiming for 10 million by 2027 and 30 million by 2030. The government plans to invest an additional 250 billion won ($184.37 million) next year to support these services, which also require securing 2,000 GPUs. As of now, 23 million South Koreans have used generative AI models, with 21 million using free, lower-tier versions.
