South Korea is making significant strides in the artificial intelligence sector with ambitious plans to construct a 3-gigawatt AI data center in South Jeolla province. This $35 billion project, spearheaded by Stock Farm Road, aims to establish South Korea as a global leader in AI technology. The data center, expected to break ground in early 2025 and be completed by 2028, will be the largest of its kind, dwarfing existing facilities and positioning the country to meet the escalating demands of AI computing power. The project is anticipated to generate substantial economic benefits, including creating over 10,000 jobs.
The strategic location in South Jeolla offers lower land costs and access to underutilized power generation. The South Korean government is further incentivizing this move with a 50% discount on electric facility levies for data centers outside the capital region. Simultaneously, the South Korean government has halted downloads of DeepSeek, a Chinese AI company, due to transparency concerns. This highlights the country's commitment to ensuring regulatory compliance as it pursues advancements in artificial intelligence. References :

Meta is significantly expanding its focus on artificial intelligence by venturing into the realm of humanoid robotics. The company's efforts center on developing AI-driven software and sensor technology that could potentially power future consumer robots. Instead of building its own physical robots, Meta intends to create AI-powered software and sensors that can be integrated into robots manufactured by other companies. This approach aims to leverage the Llama AI platform to create intelligent machines capable of navigating and interacting within the physical world.
Meta is also prioritizing user data protection by implementing static analysis tools to prevent unauthorized data scraping. These tools are integrated into the workflow to detect potential scraping vectors across Facebook, Instagram, and parts of the Reality Labs codebases. Furthermore, Meta is updating its Facebook Live video storage policy. Beginning February 19th, new live broadcasts can be replayed, downloaded, or shared for 30 days, after which they will be automatically removed. Existing live videos older than 30 days will also be removed after a 90 day notice is given to download or transfer the content. References :
