President Lee Jae-myung must speed up the development of AI specialized in cybersecurity

Regarding the recent hacking incident at a financial institution, President Lee Jae-myung said on the 6th, "In some cases of hacking, the use of artificial intelligence (AI) has been revealed, causing great public concern and anxiety."

In his opening remarks at the Cabinet meeting presided over at the Blue House on this day, President Lee said, "As hacking techniques become more sophisticated due to the development of AI technology, the scope of damage is spreading in all directions to the extent that it is difficult to compare with the past."

President Lee emphasized, "The government, businesses, and society as a whole need to be seriously aware of the current situation and have special vigilance. It is difficult to respond to cyber threats that evolve day by day through post-event management after an incident occurs. We must have security capabilities to detect and block attacks in advance."

He then said, “Speed ​​is life,” and ordered, “Quickly inspect the security system and take necessary measures immediately.”

In particular, he said, “It is time to comprehensively innovate society’s security paradigm to suit the era of artificial intelligence.”
