South Korean president calls for aggressive Al spending
Manila Bulletin
|November 5, 2025
South Korean President Lee Jae Myung on Tuesday called for tripling the government spending on projects for expanding artificial intelligence infrastructure and technology in a budget speech.
-
Lee also called for lawmakers to approve a planned 8.2% increase in defense spending next year, which he said would help modernize the military's weapons systems and reduce its reliance on the United States, as the allies' military chiefs met in Seoul for annual security talks.
Most conservative opposition lawmakers boycotted Lee's speech amid an ongoing rift over a criminal investigation into former President Yoon Suk Yeol's brief imposition of martial law in December.
Lee's speech came after South Korea last week hosted the leaders of major Pacific Rim nations for this year's Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation meetings, which his government used to showcase its ambitions for AI and advance an effort at a trade deal with the U.S.
