Also, he mentioned that by increasing the number of full-time professors to 30 until 2023, KAIST will be the best graduate school in the field of AI.<\/p>\n<p>\nJudging that the procuration of talent is crucial for the fourth industrial revolution, twelve distinguished universities applied to this AI graduate school support project. However, KAIST came through the competition &nbsp;as one of the top 25%, and was one of the only three institutions to get the nine billion won funding for five years, which could maximally be stretched to 19 billion won for ten years.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It is expected that new AI departments will be founded beginning during the fall semester of 2019.
