Nearly 60 per cent of South Koreans feel anxious about falling behind in using AI for investments. The poll surveyed 1,000 people, the report said.
Respondents in their 30s showed the highest concern at 64.5 per cent. Young professionals displayed strong interest in using AI to guide financial decisions, the study found.
The report also revealed 67.2 per cent were uneasy about lacking AI skills at work. Over half, 54.9 per cent, worried about the AI education boom. Experts warned users not to take AI outputs as facts. Answers may vary across different platforms, and models may carry biases. Verification is essential.
Earlier this year, South Korea announced a record 35.3 trillion won ($25.1 billion) allocation for R&D in 2026. President Lee Jae Myung led the decision to boost productivity and develop new growth engines, with plans soon to be submitted to the National Assembly.
