Issue Authenticity verification, deepfakes and support for AI content creation in Korea

Summary

The report argues that as the volume of AI-generated content explodes, selecting meaningful content, judging suitability and verifying authenticity matter more than simple production. The risk of deepfakes and fake news spreading amid indiscriminate content is rising at the same time. Inserting watermarks into AI output and adopting blockchain-based provenance tracking are expected to remain under continuous discussion. Korea's policy directions include AI creation tool vouchers and production support for creators, and an AI content fund to promote collaboration between content and AI firms. The plan also calls for media literacy and ethics education and more advanced technology for detecting deepfakes and other disinformation.
