Global IT giants are increasing their investments in artificial intelligence (AI). While the main drivers and technical challenges are clear, security risks are also rising. Recent reports from both domestic and overseas have pointed out that this trend is directly connected to international politics and energy security. In particular, core countries such as the United States, China, and Japan regard AI technology as a strategic asset, attracting attention on corresponding regulatory policies and financial market volatility.
The Korean Economic Daily devoted its weekly column to the theme “Global IT companies’ expansion of AI investment and security issues.” The article discussed the worldwide spread of AI research and development (R&D) projects, along with prospects for industry structure changes based on it, and how security risks should be addressed. It also warned that as international politics hardens, energy-security threats could trigger economic crises.
Specifically, Korean companies and overseas investors are actively investigating how to manage security weaknesses when applying AI technology, both in terms of institutional regulation and policy direction. Along with this, the financial market is viewed as a point where AI-related risks can have major impacts.
