Rep. Hwang Jeong-ah: "Democratic Party and Cho Kuk Innovation Party members urge AI and R&D budget to be balanced at 5 trillion won"
Rep. Hwang Jeong-ah reported that the Democratic Party of Korea and Cho Kuk Innovation Party members of the National Assembly Science, Technology, Information, Broadcasting and Communications Committee held a press conference at the National Assembly Communication Center on the 3rd and called for a supplementary budget of at least 5 trillion won for AI and R&D.
According to Rep. Hwang, the members emphasized that a supplementary budget of 5 trillion won for AI and R&D, which is an additional 4 trillion won to the 1.4 trillion won increase in the R&D budget, is urgently needed, and that investment in super-gap technologies such as AI, quantum, semiconductors, and aerospace is necessary.
Rep. Choi Min-hee, Kim Hyun, Kim Woo-young, Noh Jong-myeon, Park Min-gyu, Lee Jeong-heon, Lee Hoon-ki, Jeong Dong-young, Jo In-cheol, Han Min-soo, Hwang Jeong-ah, and Rep. Lee Hae-min attended the press conference. They strongly criticized the government and the ruling party’s opposition to the supplementary budget, and condemned the government’s attitude of attaching conditions to Representative Lee Jae-myung’s request to push for an AI supplementary budget.
In addition, they argued that the National Assembly’s Science and Technology Committee passed an agreement with the ruling and opposition parties to increase the R&D budget by 900 billion won, and that various R&D projects, such as fostering AI and science and engineering talents and the budget for government-funded research institutes, could be immediately reflected in the supplementary budget.
Major R&D increase projects included AI research computing support projects, the creation of the AX verification valley, and support for the development of ultra-large AI-based virtual convergence services.
Lastly, the opposition party members pledged to push forward everything the National Assembly must do to make the Republic of Korea an AI and science and technology powerhouse, and announced that they would boldly move forward by incorporating voices from the field, such as supplementary budgets, regulatory innovation, fostering talent, and policy development. <저작권자 ⓒ 브레이크뉴스대전충청 무단전재 및 재배포 금지>
