What to know

  • South Korea's Deputy PM explicitly rejected calls from major US tech executives (Altman, Amodei, Musk) to slow AI development, citing the nation's need to catch up to leading powers.
  • Bae distinguished between a catch-up nation's circumstances and those of an AI leader, arguing speed accountability matters more than speed control for his country.
  • South Korea will continue uninterrupted implementation of its AI Basic Act and proceed with independent foundation and Frontier AI model initiatives.

“speed accountability matters more than speed control, noting that a country working to catch up in AI while building new markets faces different circumstances than a leading nation adjusting its pace”
