韩国政府正研拟利用半导体产业带来的超额税收建立一个投资基金，以支撑该国的长期经济成长。随著三星电子与 SK 海力士预计创下历史性的营运利润，这两家晶片巨头有望为政府带来超过 100 兆韩元（约 650 亿美元）的企业税收。

总统秘书室室长姜勋植表示，该基金的资金将用于大胆的未来投资，包括支援韩国上周公布的「三大超大型项目」（涵盖半导体、实体人工智慧及数据中心），以及解决 K 型极化、提供青年住房、创业与就业支持。部分超额税收也可能用于扩建晶片厂所需的电力与水源等基础建设。

随著人工智慧热潮让本土晶片制造商获利丰厚，如何分配与使用这些获利在韩国引发讨论。总统政策室室长金容范此前甚至曾提议，利用 AI 产业带来的超额税收向全体国民发放「股利」，这反映出各界对于重新分配科技繁荣红利的关注。

The South Korean government is considering the creation of an investment fund funded by excess tax revenue from the semiconductor industry to finance long-term economic growth. Driven by forecasted record operating profits of chip giants Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, the two companies are expected to generate over 100 trillion won ($65 billion) in annual corporate taxes.

Kang Hoon-sik, chief of staff to President Lee Jae Myung, stated that the fund would be used for bold investments, including supporting the country's recently unveiled "three mega projects" (focusing on semiconductors, physical AI, and data centers), addressing K-shaped economic polarization, and supporting housing, startups, and jobs for young people. Part of the tax windfall may also fund infrastructure like electricity and water supplies for chip plants.

As the AI boom continues to enrich local chipmakers, discussions on how to utilize and redistribute these gains are intensifying in South Korea. The president's policy chief, Kim Yong-beom, previously suggested paying citizens a "dividend" from excess AI profits, underscoring the growing pressure to share the benefits of the technological boom.
