Jang Dong-hyuk, leader of the People Power Party, stated on July 8 at the opening ceremony of ABC (AI Business Channel), South Korea's first AI-focused economic broadcasting network, that AI should be approached as a national task rather than a political issue that could divide the country.
In his speech, Jang emphasized, "AI has transcended being just a technology; it has become a core driving force that determines national competitiveness and the future of industries." He noted that the world has entered a new competition centered around AI, asserting that AI competitiveness is synonymous with national strength and is crucial for maintaining technological sovereignty.
He expressed hope that ABC, which launches at this pivotal time, will serve as a new platform connecting AI technology, industry, policy, and investment, playing a significant role in the development of South Korea's AI ecosystem.
Jang further stated, "For South Korea to advance as a leading AI nation, we must cultivate talented individuals, expand related infrastructure such as electricity, and engage in bold research and development and investment, while creating an environment where companies can innovate freely."
He also highlighted the importance of fostering a healthy AI ecosystem where technology, industry, finance, and media are interconnected. Jang affirmed that the People Power Party will actively cooperate with government policies aimed at enhancing AI competitiveness, while responsibly addressing shortcomings and proposing better policy alternatives.
