Democratic Party leader Lee Jae-myung: ”I want you to be proactive in making any AI-related proposals” = South Korea

On the 11th, Lee Jae-myung, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, said, "The age of AI is inevitable, and there is no right answer when it comes to a road that has not yet been traveled. We will listen to any proposals."
On the same day, Chairman Lee wrote on his SNS, "Let's prepare for a future where we come together." The day before, Chairman Lee announced a "bootcamp" for the AI field in a speech by the representative of the negotiating group of the National Assembly plenary session.
This comes in response to continued criticism of plans to train 100,000 relevant technical personnel through the National Institute for Professional Training and to build a national AI data center.
Lee Hae-min, a former member of Google and a leading IT expert in the National Assembly, said, "I don't know who is advising on AI in the Democratic Party.
"I don't think we can do this," he said. "We can't have the same level of understanding of AI as Seoul Mayor Oh Sehun." Prior to this, Mayor Oh had said, "We will train 10,000 AI personnel.
In response, Lee said, "I am grateful to Rep. Lee Hae-min of the Fatherland Reform Party for his good suggestion. As an IT expert, I hope to open the door to productive discussions to prepare for the AI era."
"The changes unfolding before us are so big and important that we must gather everyone's wisdom.
"I would like the Diet to proactively convey any suggestions, even their own views," he said, emphasizing that "the Diet will take the lead and listen more attentively and make further efforts so that we can turn the crisis of the AI era into an opportunity."
