What are South Korea's AI ambitions? What are its plans to support AI growth, expand AI infrastructure, and to compete with China, the US and other key players in the AI technology race?

Joining Mark Lippert and Victor Cha to discuss this and more are Mr. Gregory Allen from CSIS and Mr. Andrew Grotto from Stanford University. 

Gregory C. Allen is the director of the Wadhwani AI Center at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) where he leads a team of scholars researching AI policy, governance, diplomacy, geopolitics, and national security.  Mr. Allen plays an important role in shaping the U.S. and allied AI policy agenda, including at major international fora such as the 2023 and 2024 G7 Summits and the AI Safety Summit series. 

Andrew J. Grotto is a research scholar at the Center for International Security and Cooperation at Stanford University. Grotto’s research interests center on the national security and international economic dimensions of America’s global leadership in information technology innovation, and its growing reliance on this innovation for its economic and social life. Before coming to Stanford, Grotto was the Senior Director for Cybersecurity Policy at the White House in both the Obama and Trump Administrations. At the White House, he played a key role in shaping President Obama’s Cybersecurity National Action Plan and driving its implementation. He was also the principal architect of President Trump’s cybersecurity executive order, “Strengthening the Cybersecurity of Federal Networks and Critical Infrastructure.”

This event is made possible through general support to CSIS.
