What’s fueling the AI boom in South Korea?

South Korea is going all-in on AI — with major investments from both the government and tech giants like Naver and Samsung. There’s a big push toward building sovereign AI models (like HyperCLOVA), AI data centers, and even regulations to foster innovation.

But here’s what I’m wondering:
We have the infrastructure, we have the talent — but how do we make sure AI here remains verifiable, ethical, and open? Especially with rising concerns around hallucinations and deepfakes, I think this is where Web3 could step in.

Curious to hear what others think:
– Do you see real opportunities for AI x Web3 in Korea?
– Are there specific use cases or projects you find promising here?
– And if you’re building AI in Korea, I’d love to connect!

That’s a solid point. Korea definitely has the talent and resources — but the real challenge is ensuring trust and transparency in AI systems.

I think a good starting point would be strong national standards + open infrastructure, it might create the best balance.

Curious what frameworks you think would fit Korea’s AI landscape best?
