International organizations, national governments, academia, industry and civil society must pool expertise to steer innovation toward “AI for All” — a human-centered, inclusive approach to artificial intelligence.
Prime Minister Kim Min-seok made the remark in his opening address at the Global AI Hub Vision Launch at the Grand Hyatt Seoul in Yongsan-gu on the afternoon of the 21st, introducing the Hub’s vision: “AI for All, AI to Solve Global Challenges.”
The Global AI Hub is a worldwide AI cooperation platform being established in South Korea. It seeks to create a collaborative framework where international organizations, governments, research institutions and public-interest groups jointly share AI technologies and infrastructure to tackle global challenges.
Kim said the Korean government will advance three concrete initiatives centered on the Global AI Hub.
He said the government will work with the international community to establish safe, trustworthy AI norms and standards. Beyond technical standards and guidelines, the Hub will lead efforts to put in place safeguards for human safety and protection, define clear ethical red lines, and ensure human accountability.
He added that humanity faces layered, complex crises — including infectious diseases, climate change and food insecurity — that no single country or institution can solve alone, and he stressed that the Hub will play a leading role in addressing these global problems.
He expressed his expectation that a broad array of stakeholders — the United Nations and other international organizations, multilateral development banks, national governments, businesses and universities — will converge at the AI Hub to collaborate on global solutions.
Kim pledged to close the AI divide. Through AI policy and technical advisory services, and education and training, he said the government will strengthen the capacities of institutions and countries and build inclusive channels so that the benefits of technology fully reach developing countries and vulnerable communities.
9 international organizations attended the event: the International Labour Organization (ILO), the International Organization for Migration (IOM), the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR), UNICEF, the World Food Programme (WFP) and the World Health Organization (WHO). The Korean government and these organizations issued a joint statement expressing their commitment to advance the Global AI Hub.
