'4.7 trillion' Frontier AI likely to determine investment targets in February next year... Opportunities open to startups as well

Translated from Korean Read in Korean

The Ministry of Science and Technology has announced that it will continue its existing "Korean AI Foundation Model" project, also known as "독파모", as planned. In addition, a new "Frontier AI" project will be launched to develop a globally top-tier AI model. The new project is a response to the rapid progress and large investments in global AI technology.

The ministry aims to finalize the Frontier AI project's funding recipients as early as February next year, with plans to keep the existing 독파모 project going, including its third evaluation in February 2027.
