Interest in artificial intelligence is growing stronger in North Korea. The country’s leading universities — particularly Kim Il Sung University — have started offering generative AI technologies as a new academic specialization. This aims to boost scientific capacity and align with modern global trends.
According to analysts, Pyongyang's decision is driven by two main factors: first, a desire to keep up with the global digital revolution; second, to strengthen state control through AI technologies.
It is well known that North Korea has historically developed significant hacking capabilities. Now, the country aims to elevate that expertise to a new level through artificial intelligence. These technologies are being integrated not only into education but also into intelligence and information surveillance systems.
Observers believe these changes may significantly expand the country's digital capabilities in the future. AI-focused educational programs may help raise the scientific potential of the younger generation, while also supporting the political system’s stability.
This move is seen as an effort by North Korea to strengthen its position in the increasingly competitive global AI environment. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
