@dailymail: South Korea is moving to make generative AI available to its entire population at no cost, treating access to the technology more like a public service. The government has selected three Korean tech groups to build the services, which are expected to offer unlimited use and connect AI with everyday government and public services. The tools could eventually help people with tasks ranging from booking medical appointments and finding housing to handling taxes and accessing government support. The push is also designed to strengthen South Korea’s homegrown AI industry and reduce dependence on major U.S. and Chinese AI platforms. #southkorea #ai #technology #news #asia
