May 27 (Asia Today) -- OpenAI said Wednesday it will expand artificial intelligence-based cyber defense cooperation with the South Korean government, public agencies and companies in key industries.
The company announced its Korea Cyber Action Plan during a press conference at the JW Marriott Hotel in Seoul's Seocho District. The plan is designed to give government agencies, public institutions and companies broader access to OpenAI's advanced AI cyber models.
Jason Kwon, OpenAI's chief strategy officer, said AI has entered a third stage as an "intelligence utility," becoming core infrastructure for the economy and society after earlier phases focused on capability breakthroughs and broader access.
Kwon said South Korea is well positioned to adopt AI because it is a digital-first society that quickly embraces new technologies and has a "full-stack economy" with global semiconductor companies including Samsung Electronics and SK hynix.
