,
, “In the AI sector, we will gather opinions for the draft of the AI Basic Law enforcement ordinance and guidelines. Detailed follow-up tasks for strengthening AI capabilities, such as the ‘World Best Large Language Model (LLM) Project,’ will also be pursued.”,
,
, ‘A fast-track processing of tasks similar to the exceptions approved in the ICT regulatory sandbox will be undertaken. Efforts will also be made in AI and software (SW) talent development projects, such as nurturing talents in leading AI semiconductor technologies.’,
,
, ‘A semiconductor and secondary battery public-private council will be launched, and comprehensive quantum plans and cluster basic plans will be established.’,
,
, ‘Moreover, a future dialogue will be held on the 9th to establish a high-level public-private cooperation channel for national strategic technologies.’,
,
, ‘The vision for inter-ministerial technology commercialization will be announced within this month.

,
, ‘The 7th Korea-Japan-China ICT Ministerial Meeting will be held on the 11th. This is the first ministerial meeting between the three countries in seven years.’,
,
, “Furthermore, to alleviate public anxiety, ‘electromagnetic wave traffic lights’ will be operated, measuring and displaying data center electromagnetic information in traffic signal form. An ‘X-ray’ system to pre-detect and block smishing will also be piloted.”,
,
, ‘The results of an assessment to promote competition in the telecommunications market will be announced at the end of this month. Plans for evaluating telecommunications service quality, focusing on indoor facilities and high-speed rail sections, have also been established for this year.’,
,
, ‘To lay the foundation for 6th generation communication (6G), a 320 billion KRW low earth orbit satellite communication R&D project will commence within this month.’,
,
, “A public-private cooperation system, the ‘Global K-Fast Alliance,’ will be launched to promote the joint overseas expansion of K-content. Efforts are also underway to institutionalize regional channel commerce between cable TV and home shopping to expand sales channels for small businesses.”,
