Issue Building AI security talent and a national AI cyber-defence system in Korea

Summary

The report argues that the need is growing for converged specialists with both AI and security knowledge who can build and run advanced AI-based security technologies. Korea's first policy direction is to build AI-based threat detection and an AI threat information sharing system to strengthen nationwide AI cyber defence. The second is a digital safety net that citizens can feel, including mandatory notification of users by operators that suffer hacking. It also introduces a new security evaluation and disclosure scheme for Internet of Things devices used in daily life. The third is training security talent linked to AI through new AI-focused universities and wider support for AI graduate schools.
