Building a Strategic U.S.-ROK Artificial Intelligence Partnership

The United States and South Korea are at the forefront of artificial intelligence (AI) research, development, and industrial application. Both countries have announced new initiatives—the Trump administration’s AI Action Plan in Washington and the Lee administration’s pledge to expand cooperation in AI, nuclear energy, shipbuilding, and semiconductors—signaling their shared commitment to technological leadership. At the same time, rapid advancements in AI across the globe are reshaping the competitive and strategic environment.  

This panel discussion will explore the following central question: What are the opportunities and challenges that the U.S. and South Korea may face as they further develop their AI partnership? By bringing together leading voices from government, industry, and academia, the event will examine how the two allies can build a durable and mutually beneficial U.S.–ROK Strategic AI Partnership, strengthen innovation ecosystems, and address global governance and security concerns arising from AI’s rapid evolution.
