SEOUL, March 19 (Yonhap) -- The science and education ministries discussed Thursday ways to foster artificial intelligence (AI) talent amid fast changes in the rapidly evolving sector, officials said.
The Ministry of Science and ICT held a meeting with the Ministry of Education to seek joint efforts to provide AI education programs across all stages of schooling, including establishing education platforms in which students can engage directly with data and AI models.
South Korea will also provide training courses for teachers and prepare guidelines on the safe use of AI platforms.
The government will promote cooperation among AI-related departments at local universities, including joint research and exchange programs.
"Now is the golden time to implement policy measures to foster professionals amid a major transformation, under which the development of cutting-edge technologies is accelerating and the global industrial order is being reshaped by AI," Science Minister Bae Kyung-hoon said in a release.
