PM vows to speed up AI transformation in public sector

SEOUL, July 9 (Yonhap) -- The government will speed up artificial intelligence (AI) transformation in the public sector, including expanding the use of a trial AI-driven work system to all central government agencies by the end of the year, Prime Minister Han Seong-sook said Thursday.

"AI is no longer just the domain for technology or industry. It demands us change the way we work and live. The government is going to transform itself in line with these changes," Han said during a national policy coordination meeting. "The AI democratic government we aim for is a capable and kind government befitting the AI era."

Han said that the "On-AI" system, an AI-driven work platform that has been in use at four ministries on a trial basis since April, will be expanded to all 47 central government agencies by year's end. The government will also seek to disclose 100 kinds of core public data for various AI-based uses.

"We will focus on cutting down on simple and repetitive work through AI to create an environment where civil servants can concentrate more on essential tasks to improve people's lives," she said.
