The South Korean Ministry of Science and ICT is developing an AI transformation ecosystem involving four major science institutes: KAIST, GIST, DGIST, and UNIST. The strategy focuses on integrating AI into regional industries by promoting collaboration among institutes, universities, and local businesses.

KAIST will partner with government-funded research institutes to enhance defense and biotechnology sectors. GIST will work with local universities to expand AI in energy and bio-health. DGIST aims to secure AX technologies in robotics and healthcare, while UNIST will integrate AI into shipbuilding and aerospace. The government will support these efforts with budgets and infrastructure, including joint research institutes and AI gifted schools.
