'AI 동맹' 던지고 돌아간 젠슨 황.."원천 기술 확보 중요" / SBS 8뉴스

Anchor The government has announced plans to localize the core infrastructure of physical AI. The goal is to secure source technologies to counter China, which is rapidly mass-producing humanoid robots backed by massive capital and government support, and Nvidia, which dominates the AI ​​models that serve as the brains of robots. Reporter Choi Seung-hoon reports. Reporter As Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang departs after a five-day visit to Korea, we asked him what Korea and Nvidia have each gained. [Jensen Huang / Nvidia CEO: Nvidia's greatest contribution to Korea is inventing the AI ​​industry and creating an AI ecosystem.] The problem is that as cooperation deepens, dependence on Nvidia also increases. There are two core technologies for physical AI that operates in the real world, such as robots and autonomous vehicles: The "World Model," a virtual world where robots can train without the risk of accidents, and the "Robot Foundation Model," which enables them to make decisions and act on their own. NVIDIA is dominating the market by expanding its own ecosystem into this domain. However, if our companies rely on NVIDIA for even these essential technologies, there is a concern that core revenue and technological leadership could be lost, even if they cooperate. [Jang Young-jae / Distinguished Professor at KAIST: The background behind NVIDIA's growth was such an ecosystem strategy. In the field of physical AI as well, they intend to establish their own ecosystem and ultimately lock in [the market].] Therefore, the government has embarked on the independent development of leading physical AI technologies. [Ryu Je-myung / Vice Minister of Science and ICT: It is very important to independently secure world model technology that supports learning the laws of physics in reality within a virtual world.] Ten industry-academia-research institutions, including LG Electronics, Seoul National University, and KAIST, are participating, and 34 billion won will be invested over two years to develop domestic world models and robot foundation models. We plan to increase the final operation success rate of actual robots by more than 20 percentage points through these models, a target that surpasses the world's highest standards. The policy is to rapidly proceed with commercialization by fully leveraging the strengths of a manufacturing powerhouse and conducting sufficient verification in manufacturing and logistics sites.
