Korea Times says a joint research center has been setup at KAIST with four key research objectives. The first priority is to come up with an AI-based command system. This will be followed by an AI algorithm for navigating an unmanned submarine. A AI-base aviation training system is next and an AI-based object-tracking technique will be the last priority.
