Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Science and ICT Baek Kyung-hoon announced on October 6 that the government will respond to the recent surge in personal data breaches through specialized security models and frontier AI initiatives.
During a National Assembly audit of the Science, Technology, Information, Broadcasting and Communications Committee, Baek made this statement in response to a question from lawmaker Choi Hyung-doo of the People Power Party regarding the government's measures to address data breaches.
Baek stated, "The government has announced security measures to enhance our cybersecurity capabilities," adding, "We are promoting a specialized security model to respond to incidents like the Mitose case and are preparing a frontier AI project."
He further noted, "As cyber threats are expected to increase due to AI, we will not only seek specific collaborations but also ensure that we do not neglect our own capacity-building efforts."
