South Korea's business community has proposed 119 policy tasks for the coming year to the government, including a dedicated law to support the development of physical AI, according to the policy recommendation announcement.
Among the 119 proposals is a recommended "Physical AI Support Act," a piece of legislation aimed at backing the development of physical AI — AI systems embodied in robots and other hardware. The proposal forms part of a broader package of policy tasks the business community is presenting for the government's next-year agenda.
The recommendations cover a range of regulatory and industrial policy issues facing Korean companies, spanning the technology, semiconductor and broader industrial sectors. The full set of 119 tasks was compiled as the business community's formal input into the government's upcoming policy planning cycle.
While the fact-check outcome applied to the claim as a whole, the proposal list is expected to be relevant to major Korean technology and semiconductor players such as Samsung, SK hynix, LG and Naver, whose industries are directly touched by AI and hardware-related regulation. Specific company-by-company items within the 119 tasks were not detailed in the available materials.
The claim that the business community suggested 119 policy tasks for next year, including the proposed physical AI support legislation, is True.
