SEOUL. KAZINFORM – Prime Minister Han Duck-soo said Thursday that South Korea will increase investments and provide more policy support to the field of artificial intelligence (AI), with a goal of becoming one of the world's top three AI powerhouses by 2027, Yonhap reports.

«By 2027, (South Korea) will take a leap toward one of the world's top three AI powerhouses,» Han told a policy meeting on data and AI technologies.
