YONHAP — South Korea's deputy prime minister and minister of science and ICT said on the 6th Seoul should not delay investment in AI data centers amid rising global concern over an AI investment pullback after US midterm-driven regulation fears and related stock falls. He said “South Korea must not be swept up by the current atmosphere and stop or delay investment,” warned that US hesitation could be seen as an opportunity by countries such as France and Canada, and said he expects global AI investment competition to remain intense; “from a personal view, the long-term trend is upward," he added.
