AI Profit Dividend Debate Hits Markets: South Korea’s KOSPI and Samsung shares slid after presidential policy chief Kim Yong-beom floated a “national dividend” idea—returning excess AI/semiconductor tax revenue to citizens—sparking investor confusion and backlash from business circles. Markets & Energy Shock: Wall Street also cooled from record highs as oil jumped on fears the Iran ceasefire is “on life support,” pushing Brent higher and weighing on tech and chip stocks. Robotics Data Rush: Seoul startup RLWRLD is wiring skilled workers at hotels and logistics sites to build an “AI brain” for robots, aiming to scale dexterity-first training beyond factories. Health Tech Expansion: Korean medtech firms ROKIT Healthcare and Seers signed Middle East deals to expand AI-driven kidney monitoring and ECG device distribution. Samsung Software Push: Samsung began rolling out the One UI 9 beta for Galaxy S26 users, promising new multitasking controls and security features. Alliance Tension: Seoul and Washington also clashed over OPCON transfer timing and Korea’s role in the alliance during defense talks.
