The government and the ruling People Power Party were set to discuss Tuesday ways to improve competitiveness in the artificial intelligence industry.
During their consultations, the two sides are expected to review AI trends and strategies related to DeepSeek, China's generative AI service, and discuss ways to strengthen the country's AI capabilities by expanding AI computing infrastructure.
Minister of Science and ICT Yoo Sang-im, interim People Power Party leader Kwon Young-se, People Power Party floor leader Kweon Seong-dong and other government and People Power Party officials will participate in the meeting.
The meeting comes as China's low-cost DeepSeek model stunned the global tech industry last month and has also raised concerns over user data collection.
On Monday, South Korea's data protection regulator said it has temporarily suspended new downloads of DeepSeek over concerns about its data collection practices. (Yonhap)
