The government aims to expand factory AI use through linked digital, AI and robotics upgrades by 2030, ITHome reported.

South Korea plans to invest at least 5 trillion won by 2030 to help small and medium-sized manufacturers adopt physical AI, ITHome reported, citing South Korea's Electronic Times. The strategy combines digital transformation, artificial intelligence and robotics rather than treating them as separate upgrades. [1]

The plan aims to increase manufacturers using AI from 600 to 6,000 and those implementing digital transformation from 18,000 to 30,000 by 2030. Support will vary with companies' digital readiness, from basic smart-factory construction and equipment upgrades to AI applications in production. The government also plans to test AI and robots in manual and high-risk manufacturing processes. [1]
