They also discussed plans to advance the project.<\/p>\n<p>Sovereign AI refers to autonomous AI models that reduce dependence on specific technologies or companies and prevent the external leakage of critical industrial data.<\/p>\n<p>The signing ceremony brought together Mayor Kim Du-gyeom; UNIST President Park Jong-rae; ETRI Director Bang Seung-chan; KRICT Director Kim Hyun-chul; and about ten representatives from participating companies, universities, and research institutes, including Hyundai Motor, HD Hyundai Heavy Industries, SK Energy, and Korea Zinc.<\/p>\n<p>Under the agreement, participants will collaborate to build the sovereign AI infrastructure, share data, and jointly develop and pilot AI models tailored to manufacturing. They will also run field-focused training programs to cultivate specialized talent, coordinate institutional support, and exchange information to create digital jobs and strengthen the AI industry ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p>Mayor Kim Du-gyeom said, &#8220;This agreement marks the starting point for establishing a Ulsan-style sovereign AI hub.
