South Korea will launch the "Future Fund" to promote long-term economic growth, using what the government calls "windfall revenue" from increased tax collection driven by the recent artificial intelligence boom, the budget ministry said Friday. The Ministry of Planning and Budget unveiled the plan in partnership with relevant government agencies, saying the AI industry has sparked a major transition across various areas, from the economy to social systems, beyond just a technological revolution.
