"전 세계가 주목할 장면"...한국 'AI 황금시대' 탄탄대로? [Y녹취록] / YTN

■ Hosts: Anchor Lee Seung-min, Anchor Baek Jong-gyu ■ Guests: Kang Sung-pil, Deputy Spokesperson for the Democratic Party of Korea; Kim Ki-heung, Media Spokesperson for the People Power Party The text below may differ from the actual broadcast content.

When CEO Jensen Huang visited Korea recently, didn't he visit the headquarters of various companies? This time, conversely, our corporate representatives visited the NVIDIA headquarters where CEO Jensen Huang is located. Also, as you mentioned, AI leaders ranging from memory to physical AI and generative AI have gathered in one place. We have prepared photos of this gathering; could you show them? Seeing them naturally come together for a meeting like this looks very natural, as CEOs have previously held informal meetings among themselves. There is considerable interest in what kind of achievements these corporate representatives will produce through their cooperation in the future, isn't there? *Hosts:* [Kang Seong-pil] When we talk about AI, simply put, we mean semiconductors. However, it doesn't end with just a single semiconductor. We run AI programs on these semiconductors, and to create AI programs, we need data centers. Furthermore, based on accumulated data, robots will likely do more work than humans in factories in the future, won't they? Isn't that what we call Physical AI? Consequently, as a result, companies like Hyundai Motor, Big Tech, Tesla, SK Hynix, and Samsung will inevitably have to lead the industry comprehensively together. Therefore, it is crucial for corporate leaders to come together, deliberate, and consider how to maintain this ecosystem. However, while I previously mentioned the importance of electricity, water, data center sites, and national support—as we can see from examples like Kumamoto in Japan or Kaohsiung in Taiwan—an additional critical issue now is how to train the workforce. Infrastructure is coming to Korea and investment is taking place, but can we really solve this problem relying solely on our own human resources? However, I believe this was a comprehensive gathering where the President met with corporate leaders alongside Big Tech firms to deliberate on how to manage talent development and supply. Ultimately, I would assess it as a meeting to consider how to create synergy within the AI ​​ecosystem. [Anchor] It is rare to see Big Tech CEOs gathered in one place like that. It seems like a noteworthy scene not only for Korea but for the entire world. How do you evaluate President Lee Jae-myung's first move on his overseas trip? [Kim Ki-heung] I view it positively. As a member of the "Top 3 AI Powerhouses" envisioned by President Lee, I view the three major mega-projects positively. However, regarding the selection of the location—specifically the construction of the semiconductor fab in Gwangju—even President Lee mentioned that historical compensation is necessary, didn't he? Aside from that, I believe we have successfully identified the areas where we can contribute to building the overall AI ecosystem. However, rather than approaching the matter from a corporate perspective, and assuming that it is correct to view it from a government-controlled standpoint—even if President Lee Jae-myung believes it is the right path—regarding the construction of a semiconductor fab in Gwangju, there are problems with the situation regarding water supply, power, the materials, parts, and equipment ecosystem, as well as land and manpower...
