The National Artificial Intelligence (AI) Strategy Committee announced the launch of a 'National Cyber Resilience Strengthening Task Force (TF)' on November 12, aimed at enhancing AI-based cybersecurity. The committee plans to develop a national cyber resilience strengthening strategy by the first quarter of 2027.
Recent rapid advancements in AI have accelerated the automation and sophistication of cyberattacks. These attacks are increasingly targeting not only AI data centers but also critical digital environments, including power, communication networks, finance, and refrigeration systems.
The establishment of the TF follows the committee's third meeting held on November 6.
The TF will be led by Lee Won-tae, chair of the committee's Security Special Committee, and will consist of 11 private sector members, with participation from relevant government agencies, including the Ministry of Science and ICT, the Ministry of Interior and Safety, the Ministry of Climate, Energy and Environment, and the National Intelligence Service.
The TF plans to analyze AI threats and identify gaps in existing response systems. It will also outline policy directions and priority tasks for the continuity, substitution, and recovery of essential national functions and services.
Additionally, by the first quarter of 2027, the TF aims to prepare a 'Cyber Resilience Strengthening Strategy for the Era of Superintelligence' and a roadmap for implementation from 2027 to 2028. This roadmap will include 10 key initiatives, over 20 diagnostic items, more than three recovery scenarios for critical infrastructure and digital infrastructure, and two design documents for related pilot projects.
Lee stated, 'Through this TF, we will establish measures to strengthen national cyber resilience.'
Vice Chair Ha Jung-woo added, 'We will collaborate with relevant agencies to achieve the outcomes of this TF.'
