North Korea has been very active in the development of artificial intelligence-AI and machine learning. This investment will protect North Korea from the effects of Covid-19 and the safety of its nuclear reactors and surveillance by other countries. News Reuters.
Research author Hyuk Kim of the James Martin Center for Non-Proliferation Studies (CNS) in California said in his study that international sanctions imposed on North Korea’s nuclear weapons program may hamper efforts to secure AI hardware, but it appears to be following the latest technology.
Hyuk Kim sees the development of AI/ML as a strategic investment to strengthen North Korea’s digital economy.
According to the study, foreign researchers, including from China, have collaborated on some of North Korea’s AI programs.
According to the study, North Korea established an artificial intelligence research institute in 2013. Several companies have launched commercial products featuring AI in recent years.
