US DoD AI Strategy and Its Implication for ROK
►The U.S. Department of Defense's (DoD) AI Strategy emphasizes a long-term approach to integrating AI across military operations, focusing on operational efficiency, ethical principles, and international cooperation, serving as a model for South Korea’s nascent efforts in defense AI.
►While the U.S. leads in leveraging AI for battlefield analytics, logistics, and ethical governance, South Korea's defense AI efforts remain limited, necessitating a comprehensive strategy and stronger public-private collaboration to harness AI’s full potential.
►South Korea must prioritize the development of a national AI defense strategy, invest in AI talent, and engage in international forums to establish ethical standards and enhance its global role in military AI.
