The Korea Artificial Intelligence and Software Industry Association announced that it signed a business agreement with the Innobiz Association on December 18th in the 5th conference room of the National Assembly Members’ Hall to promote the use of AI by small and medium-sized enterprises and revitalize the AI and software industry ecosystem.
The signing ceremony was attended by National Assembly members Kim Dong-ah and Lee Joo-hee, Korea Artificial Intelligence and Software Industry Association Chairman Cho Jun-hee, Innobiz Association Chairman Jeong Gwang-cheon, and representatives of member companies from both organizations.
Through this agreement, the two organizations agreed to pursue various cooperative projects, including promoting innovation in AI and software-based innovative businesses, establishing a cooperative system for training and educating AI experts, expanding opportunities for AI verification and test beds, and proposing joint policies and exchanging information related to the AI and software industries.
At a National Assembly policy meeting held prior to the agreement, representatives from member companies from both organizations shared with the National Assembly the challenges they face in the AI and software industries and the challenges they face in addressing institutional improvements. Member companies of the Korea Artificial Intelligence and Software Industry Association (KASI) raised the need for improving the task formulation and contract coordination system for public AI and software projects, institutionalizing a proof-of-concept budget for AI transition, establishing guidelines for the government and public institutions' use of external large-scale language models, and restructuring the budget and procurement system to fit the AI era.
Innobiz Association members proposed the establishment of a research and development program linking technology commercialization and investment financing, tax incentives for doctoral-level researchers at local small and medium-sized enterprises, and the introduction of an AI-manager-based corporate transformation support program.
The two organizations plan to continue joint research and policy proposal activities to expand the use of AI in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) through this agreement.
