According to reports on November 12, South Korea's Ministry of Industry, Trade and Energy unveiled a roadmap for on-device AI semiconductors with a total budget of 802 billion won (approximately 3.99 billion yuan). The project targets completion and verification of 10 AI chips by 2030.
Three chips will target smart appliances, while one each is designated for autonomous vehicles, collaborative robots, humanoid robots, agricultural robots, and drones, with additional advanced process and edge-case scenario projects. Samsung Electronics and other wafer foundries will prioritize allocating multi-project wafer resources to domestic projects, while chip customers will participate in the development process.
