South Korea launches a government program offering free AI to all citizens
The government of South Korea has launched the “AI for Everyone” program, which is intended to give citizens free, unlimited access to AI in public services as standard infrastructure.
The government of South Korea has announced a program called “AI for Everyone”, which aims to introduce artificial intelligence into public services as a standard part of infrastructure, rather than as a tool available only to technically skilled or wealthy citizens. According to the available information, access to AI under the program is intended to be free and without limits for citizens.
The program is described as an attempt by South Korea to establish itself in AI alongside the USA and China and reduce dependence on American and Chinese models. Details can be found in the source article.
Why it matters
If the program is actually implemented, it will be one of the first cases of a state offering AI as a public service without fees or technical barriers, which could influence how other governments and domestic AI service providers approach similar steps.
