Busan intends to become a hub city of AI by investing KRW 487.7 bn in 5 yrs
Busan-si will announce its comprehensive strategy for creating a global Artificial Intelligence (AI) hub city on March 13.
The city will hold the 21st Busan Future Innovation Meeting at the Eco-Delta City Smart City Lab to unveil the Busan AI comprehensive strategy.
The meeting will begin with a keynote speech, followed by AI case presentations, the Busan comprehensive strategy presentation, and a discussion.
To strengthen its future competitiveness, the city will invest KRW 487.7 billion in four major AI flagship projects and five AI-based infrastructure developments starting over five years.
The city aims to attract KRW 758.7 billion in private investment to advance the medium- and short-term AI comprehensive strategy.
The four major AI flagship projects aim to create AI industries to provide citizens with AI services, incorporate these in administration or policies, and cultivate key AI talents.
To achieve this, the city plans to support the AI transformation of three key strategic industries—manufacturing, logistics, and healthcare—develop AI companies, and develop on-device AI services that directly provide AI services from the devices themselves.
The city plans to develop the "Busan Citizen Platform," where citizens will be able to access all administrative services and AI-based information through a single app.
To develop the five AI-based infrastructures, the city will promote an AI equipment shared use center, AI smart city, Southeastern area AI hub, Busan-style AI-online public classes, and the establishment of cooperation base for an AI quantum.
Using the 22 universities, data centers, and research institutes in Busan as a foundation, the city plans to foster AI companies and create AI hubs, as well as offer online AI education services to citizens in stages.
In particular, Busan-si will develop Eco-Delta City as a leading AI-based smart city model, which will serve as a venue for AI research and development experiments, while creating a living lab where citizens can directly solve various urban problems.
Busan's Mayor said, "In the future, we will place the entire future of Busan and the lives of its citizens on an AI-based platform and create an AI hub city in Busan."
