Comment by Kim Yong-beom
Chief of Staff for Policy at South Korea's Presidential Office; former vice finance minister
The fruits of the AI infrastructure era are not the outcome of individual companies alone, but are built on the industrial foundation that the entire nation has accumulated over the past half-century. [...] Part of those fruits should be structurally returned to all citizens. That is the legitimacy and principle of the new policy design.

Verified via web search. Kim Yong-beom (South Korea's Chief of Staff for Policy) made this statement in May 2026 in a Facebook post and statements covered widely by Korean and international media (Korea Times, Seoul Economic Daily, Bloomberg, Tom's Hardware, Yahoo Finance). Source URL returned 403 to WebFetch but the verbatim quote is confirmed across multiple outlets. The "for" vote on "The economic gains from frontier AI should be shared with every person on Earth" aligns with Kim's national dividend proposal — though geographically scoped to Korean citizens, the underlying principle (AI gains should be structurally returned to citizens rather than concentrated in companies) supports the broader proposition. Year 2026 is current.
