The Ministry of Science and ICT is launching the 'Everyone's AI Growth Ladder Project,' which will provide step-by-step support for artificial intelligence (AI) education, development, and entrepreneurship. The initiative aims to connect previously scattered AI education and development resources into learning centers, labs, and lounges, enhancing the AI capabilities of the entire population and creating a virtuous cycle where ideas from the field lead to service development and youth entrepreneurship.
On August 3, the Ministry held the launch ceremony for the 'Everyone's AI Growth Ladder Project' at the Gwangju National Science Museum. The event also marked the opening of the integrated 'Everyone's AI Learning Center, Lab, and Lounge.'
Attendees included Deputy Prime Minister Baek Kyung-hun, lawmakers Jeong Jun-ho, Lim Moon-young, and Jo In-cheol from the Jeonnam-Gwangju Integrated Special City, Goh Kwang-wan, the Deputy Mayor for Safety and Livelihood in Jeonnam-Gwangju, Kim Hyung-cheol, the head of the Korea Intelligent Information Society Agency, and Jeong Woo-sung, the chairman of the Korea Science and Creativity Foundation, who inspected the educational facilities. Representatives from the Everyone's AI Learning Center, Lab, and Lounge, as well as local students and youth, also participated in the ceremony.
The 'Everyone's AI Growth Ladder Project' is part of the 'Everyone's AI Normalization' policy. Following recommendations from the 'National AI Action Plan,' the project aims to unify previously separate AI education, development, and testing infrastructures. It will establish a step-by-step growth system that encompasses learning, development, and scaling up.
To enhance the AI capabilities of all citizens, the project will create an online AI learning environment that connects public and private AI educational content in one place. It will go beyond simple education to link innovative ideas from the field to AI services and entrepreneurship through practical training and development. Additionally, it aims to expand testing sites that address local issues with AI across the country, promoting the practical use of AI in everyday life.
