The Korea Times roundtable discussion titled “Beyond US-China AI race: Korea’s strategic edge” highlighted the need for Korea to transition from merely developing advanced AI models to constructing AI-ready knowledge systems. Experts emphasized the importance of creating structured knowledge systems, or ontologies, which can organize government data and institutional knowledge in a way that AI systems can utilize.
This shift is seen as crucial for practical AI applications. Furthermore, participants advocated for the establishment of a regulatory sandbox to test and deploy AI-powered technologies under a more adaptable framework.
