From now on, central and local government officials will be able to use private artificial intelligence (AI) on internal networks for their work. Until now, it could only be used on the internet network due to security concerns, which drew criticism that work efficiency was declining.
The Ministry of the Interior and Safety (MOIS) said on the 24th that, together with the Ministry of Science and ICT, it will launch the Pan-Government AI Common Infrastructure service.
The Pan-Government AI Common Infrastructure is a service that allows the government to jointly use private AI models, training data, and graphics processing units (GPUs).
Through this, central and local governments will be able to apply a wide range of AI technologies across their work, from internal administrative tasks to public services, without redundant development or investment. The AI chat services available on the internal network are two types: Samsung SDS and Naver Cloud.
The government will also begin a pilot service of an Intelligent Work Management Platform using the Pan-Government AI Common Infrastructure. Centered on AI, it organically links communication and collaboration tools such as email, messenger, and video conferencing so that simple and repetitive tasks can be omitted. It will first be applied to three agencies: the Ministry of the Interior and Safety (MOIS), the Ministry of Science and ICT, and the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety.
The government plans to pilot the Pan-Government AI Common Infrastructure service through the end of February 2026 to verify service functions and improve quality. In the case of the Intelligent Work Management Platform, it will be expanded to all central and local governments starting in March next year.
Bae Kyung-hoon, Minister of the Ministry of Science and ICT, said, "With the launch of this service, we will accelerate efforts so that we can take another step toward realizing the vision of becoming one of the world's top three AI powers."
Yoon Ho-jung, Minister of the Ministry of the Interior and Safety (MOIS), said, "We will do our best to leap forward as an 'AI democratic government' that actively introduces and utilizes the latest private-sector AI technologies in the public sector to provide better services to the people."
