We are also conducting joint research in the battery field, including secondary batteries and energy storage devices (ESS), and joint research in quantum technology.
In the field of artificial intelligence (AI), we will discuss building a mutual cooperation system. A security office official said, ``It is necessary to consider the dual-use issue where cutting-edge technology is used for military purposes, but
Securing superiority in technology is extremely important in the future of security," he said, adding, "I hope that this meeting will lead to the U.S.-South Korea alliance being positioned as a comprehensive alliance, from military and economic alliances to technology alliances."
