In an effort to lead global artificial intelligence (AI) research projects, South Korea's Ministry of Science and ICT said it has partnered with New York University (NYU) to open a joint AI research laboratory.
According to Yonhap news agency, the ministry stated that the new AI lab at NYU aims to become a global joint research center on AI for experts from Korea, the US and many other countries.
Here, experts from Korea and the US will focus on basic research on AI, trustworthy and responsible AI systems, as well as the application of AI in the fields of medicine and health care.
The lab will be co-led by two renowned computer scientists who are both professors at NYU, Cho Kyung Hyun and Yann LeCun.
Mr. Cho Kyung Hyun is currently a board member of AI startup Upstage (Korea), while Mr. Yann LeCun heads the AI scientist team at Meta – the parent company of Facebook and Instagram.
The ministry has earmarked 45 billion won ($33.8 million) to fund the lab over the next five years while NYU plans to contribute $31.5 million.
Speaking at the opening ceremony of the laboratory in New York, Minister of Science and Information Technology Yoo Sang Im emphasized that this is an important moment changing the partnership between Korea and the US in the field of AI./.
