Why '80% domestic models'?

South Korea wants 80% of the AI models used in its new service to be developed within the country. This isn't just about national pride; it aims to boost local tech companies, protect data sovereignty, and ensure the AI reflects Korean culture and values. It's a strategic move to build a strong, independent AI industry.
