Korea's Ministry of Science and ICT said on September 30 that it will draw up a national AI safety master plan to respond to risks from advanced AI. A public-private working group of about 25 members starts in October, and the plan is to be finalized by December after reflecting the group's discussions and input from related agencies. Members include the AI Safety Institute, the National Information Society Agency, major domestic and foreign AI companies, startups and experts. The plan rests on three strategies: building a national AI safety management system, strengthening responses to advanced AI risks, and creating a safe AI environment in everyday life.
