The Republic of Korea’s Ministry of Science and ICT has launched two programmes to transform university education through artificial intelligence, selecting 18 AI-centred universities and 15 AI Transformation (AX) graduate schools. The initiatives aim to integrate AI into higher education and strengthen cooperation between universities and industry, reports GIP Dig Watch. Under the AI-centred university programme, each of the 18 participating institutions will receive KRW3 billion (US$2.2 million) annually for up to eight years. Korean universities will strengthen specialist AI education, make foundational AI courses compulsory for all students, and introduce interdisciplinary programmes combining AI with other academic fields. The ministry also plans to convert the remaining 38 software-centred universities into AI-centred institutions next year, subject to evaluation.
