Finance minister pledges support for global 'AI basic society'

South Korea's Finance Minister Lee Hyoung-il pledged support for the creation of a global artificial intelligence (AI) basic society during a speech at the Global AI and Digital Summit in Seoul. He emphasized the importance of ensuring no country is left behind in the AI transformation, drawing on South Korea's own experience with technology-driven economic development.

To achieve this goal, South Korea is collaborating with six multilateral development banks, including the World Bank, to establish an AI hub that brings together AI cooperation centers from participating nations, with the aim of making AI benefits accessible to all individuals and nations.
