South Korea's 'AI for Everyone' gives citizens free AI access
Big news from South Korea: the government just announced "AI for Everyone," a plan to give all citizens free access to generative AI tools.
The goal? To make AI as common as public utilities and help close the tech gap, so more people can use chatbots and smart agents for daily tasks (no fancy devices needed).
South Korea selects 3 tech consortiums
Three tech consortiums have been picked to run the show, with the government supplying NVIDIA GPUs and covering costs.
By 2027, the government plans to finance nationwide service expenses, and you'll be able to tap into these AI services through web, text, phone calls, even old-school analog methods.
This move comes after South Korea said around one-third of Koreans still don't have access to AI, so it's all about making things more equal and accessible.
