South Korea plans to invest 5 trillion won in excess tax revenue from semiconductors to develop "sovereign AI" and purchase 10,000 GPUs to support a single team.
According to Beating's monitoring, the Korea Economic Daily revealed that South Korea's Ministry of Science and ICT is in discussions with the Presidential Office and the Ministry of Finance, planning to utilize approximately 5 trillion won in excess tax revenue from the semiconductor industry to purchase about 10,000 of NVIDIA's most advanced Vera Rubin superchip GPU modules this year. This investment will be used to support elite teams developing world-class "sovereign AI" models. This decision stems directly from the sense of crisis caused by US export controls on cutting-edge AI models—Anthropic's Fable 5 and OpenAI's GPT-5.6 have been restricted from external access, forcing South Korean companies to urgently modify systems built on these models. The concept of "national strategic assetization" of AI models has thus become a reality. Currently, although four teams in South Korea—LG AI Research Institute, SK Telecom, Upstage, and Motif Technologies—are advancing independent basic model projects, each team only receives support from 700 to 800 GPUs. This dispersed investment makes it difficult to compete with globally leading models that utilize tens of thousands of GPUs. The government has therefore decided to shift to a "selection and concentration" strategy, allocating 10,000 GPUs to the best teams at once, and plans to include special funds in the supplementary budget for attracting top overseas AI talent. South Korean President Lee Jae-myung publicly stated last month that the GPU procurement pace was too slow and demanded that related funds be ensured when compiling the supplementary budget. The current global competitive window is extremely short, with companies like Anthropic and OpenAI iterating new models weekly. France, with its single-focus strategy, has surpassed Meta to become the seventh largest AI provider globally, thanks to Mistral AI. If South Korea cannot catch up in the short term, it risks becoming an "AI vassal state." The South Korean semiconductor academic community has given this positive feedback, believing that investing the funds gained from hardware prosperity into building software competitiveness is essentially an investment in the country's future. --------------------------------- Click the original link below to join the Beating · Lark AI news channel for 24/7 monitoring of global AI hotspots and news.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is expected to propose cryptocurrency rules as early as this month to streamline the fundraising process for startups.
PANews reported on July 8th that, according to CoinDesk, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has updated its agenda, indicating it plans to propose new cryptocurrency rules as early as this month. The rule would establish a temporary registration exemption for developers launching crypto investment contracts, allow for a certain amount of financing, and create a safe harbor for issuers exiting securities regulation. SEC Chairman Paul Atkins stated that this move aims to achieve the goal of "making the U.S. the global crypto capital," establishing clear rules for crypto asset financing, and providing clear guidance for the custody and trading of on-chain tokenized securities. This is the SEC's first major rule-making effort in the crypto space; previously, the agency had released a digital asset taxonomy and begun developing related plans to promote tokenized securities. The cryptocurrency rule is currently under review by the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs.
Analysis: The AI investment boom is cooling down, and the market is reassessing the sustainability of chip and data center spending.
According to Odaily Odaily, the AI infrastructure investment boom is cooling down, and the market is beginning to reassess the sustainability of chip and data center spending. As investors re-examine whether AI infrastructure investment can be sustained, "AI deals" covering the semiconductor, memory chip, and data center industry chain are showing signs of cooling. Recently, AI-related chip stocks such as Micron Technology (MU) and SanDisk (SNDK) have been under pressure. Samsung Electronics previously reported record second-quarter results, but revenue fell short of market expectations, causing its stock price to drop nearly 7%, dragging down the entire AI chip sector. Market concerns are growing that the current AI boom, driven by GPUs, high-bandwidth memory (HBM), and data center construction, may face repricing as cloud computing giants (Hyperscalers) may slow their investments in AI infrastructure. Meanwhile, South Korean memory chip giant SK Hynix's stock price has fallen about 25% from its all-time high ahead of its US IPO, which is also attracting some funds away from existing chip stocks. Analysts point out that after SpaceX's massive IPO boosted valuations of AI-related assets, investors are reassessing the growth logic for the next phase of the AI market. If the AI investment fervor cools further, some funds may flow back from the AI industry chain to other risky assets, including crypto assets. (CoinDesk)

Myanmar's AI-driven telecom fraud industry exposed: Starlink becomes key infrastructure, encrypted payments and OpenAI/Google models incorporated into toolchains.
A leaked investigative report from a Myanmar scam Odaily park reveals that global telecom fraud is rapidly evolving towards an "AI industrialization + cross-border encrypted payment" system. These fraud networks use cryptocurrencies to transfer funds and employ automated tools based on large models for multilingual script generation, identity spoofing, and emotional manipulation. The investigation shows that these systems heavily utilize OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Gemini to support "large-scale social media fraud," while funds are rapidly laundered and transferred through on-chain payments and cross-border channels, forming a two-tiered structure of "AI customer acquisition + encrypted settlement," enabling the fraud industry to achieve high automation and transnational expansion capabilities. Furthermore, Elon Musk's Starlink has become the leading network service provider in the Myanmar scam industrial park, with US ISPs handling nearly one-fifth of the park's traffic. In response to the allegations, OpenAI stated that fraudsters using ChatGPT behave in a manner highly similar to ordinary users, making identification difficult. However, they have been using behavioral pattern recognition and risk control systems to ban approximately 100,000 suspicious accounts monthly. Google stated that its AI models have security safeguards in place and emphasized its commitment to "responsible AI development" to limit the use of tools for fraudulent and other illegal purposes.
