South Korea's KOSPI index experienced a brief 5.1% drop following a proposal by Kim Yong-beom, Head of the Presidential Policy Office, to use tax revenues from AI profits to pay citizens a dividend. The market reaction was tempered after Kim clarified that he referred to utilizing excess tax revenue from AI prosperity, not imposing a new windfall tax. Shares of major companies like Samsung and SK Hynix initially fell but later regained most losses. Jung In Yun, CEO of Fibonacci Global Asset Management, noted that Kim's proposal indicates the government's view of AI as national infrastructure, which could benefit Korea's AI supply chain, especially in semiconductors and domestic AI platforms.
