Ctrl+C goes pro SEOUL, October 19 (AJP) - Adobe has spent 36 years perfecting Photoshop. A lone developer armed with artificial intelligence needed about a week to produce a free lookalike. The imitation is far from the finished article. But when a familiar set of tools can be recreated in days, the companies that spent decades building them face an uncomfortable question: What will customers still pay for? U.S. developer Brandon Thomas released ArtCraft in early October, a collection of seven free apps modeled on Adobe programs, from Photoshop for editing pictures to Premiere for editing video. Less than two weeks later, he added alternatives to Microsoft's Word, Excel and PowerPoint. He built them with Anthropic's Claude, an AI system that can write computer code. The apps are open source, meaning others can inspect, modify and build on that code. For South Korean users paying 78,100 won ($59) a month for Adobe's software package, the appeal is obvious. The limitations become clearer once they start clicking. In AJP's hands-on test, PhotoCraft, the Photoshop stand-in, could resize images and draw basic shapes. But its color-editing tools were sparse, its options for saving finished work were limited, and it lacked an AI-powered eraser. Its developers themselves rate it about 45 percent ready for professional work. It is no Photoshop replacement yet. It does show how quickly AI can help someone build a usable imitation — and how little they can charge for it. In South Korea, a similar experiment has tackled a more everyday frustration: opening a document. A Korean developer released rhwp in April, a free Chrome browser extension that opens and edits HWP files. The format, developed by Hancom, is widely used in South Korean government offices and schools. The developer said AI helped build the tool in about three weeks using technical specifications Hancom published in 2010. Hancom Office sells for 99,000 won to individual buyers. Hancom has said it does not plan legal action because the format is public. It has instead welcomed such programs as a way to expand its presence online. That response points to a distinction easily lost in the excitement over AI "clones." Building an app that reads another company's documents is different from reproducing its software or repackaging its games. The projects attracting attention span all three. Some developers work from publicly available instructions, as rhwp's creator did. Others turn to reverse engineering: examining a finished program to figure out how it works. Think of buying a rival's car and stripping it down to understand the gearbox. In software, that once meant specialists spending months poring over instructions written for computers rather than people. AI is taking on more of that detective work. An open-source tool called REA, short for Reverse Engineer Anything, connects AI coding assistants to software-analysis tools. Together, they can examine parts of a program, follow what it does and test ideas about how it works. Games have become a particularly conspicuous testing ground. "I put the entire of game Minecraft into Elden Ring as mod. It runs on Mac," an X user with the handle @TobynJacobs wrote in a Sept. 29 post. The accompanying footage showed Minecraft's blocky hero Steve fighting through Elden Ring. The modification has not been publicly released. Browser versions of Halo: Combat Evolved, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and The Simpsons: Hit and Run also surfaced this month. They were described as AI-decompiled — meaning AI helped turn existing game programs back into code that developers could work with. Rights holders have begun pushing back. Fallout: New York, a browser game built with Claude, went dark on Oct. 1 after its creator said he had received a cease-and-desist letter from Bethesda. Another open-source project, AnyPS5, aims to convert PlayStation 5 games so they can run directly on a PC. Its developers say users must buy the games they convert. The promise still runs well ahead of the results. Only a handful of more than 180 titles tested are verified as playable. Yet online creators are already speculating about using it to bring Grand Theft Auto VI, due Nov. 19 on consoles only, to PCs. For software companies, these experiments pose two questions: Where does useful compatibility end and copying begin? And when is an imitator worth embracing? "Technology has kept advancing, and every step brought worries about what could go wrong," said Jung Ji-young, a professor of AI game software at Keimyung University in Daegu. Jung compared the backlash to the arrival of smartphones, when some users insisted analog phones were simpler. Regulators, he said, would need to distinguish between learning how a program works and copying it. "This is not a technology that should be banned outright by law and stopped from developing," he said. "It is the growing pains we have to go through on the way." Kong Duk-jo, a professor of AI policy and strategy at the Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology, questioned whether restrictions alone could hold back the change. "Can the law even stop it? And even if it does, would that work? I personally have my doubts," he said. Kong argued that half-finished knockoffs can make the originals more valuable by reminding users what they are paying for. A collection of familiar buttons is easier to reproduce than the wider network of services and tools that keeps people using a platform. "Rather than shutting them out and fighting over copyright, it is much faster to bring them onto your side," he said. Large companies can be slow to introduce new services. A startup that builds a compatible app may help the original platform reach more users — and become a business worth acquiring, Kong said. He suggested South Korea open its doors wider to such experiments while other advanced economies remain entangled in rules governing AI and data. Overseas software firms could receive investment and test products on platforms run by companies such as Samsung Electronics and Naver. A Vietnamese startup that proves its product through such a partnership, for example, could then help take the Korean platform into its home market, he said. Thomas, meanwhile, releases his apps under licenses that allow others to copy them freely. In a story about cloning, it may be the only copying nobody is arguing about. AJP Takeaways - AI-assisted modders have merged and ported games at speed since late September 2026, putting Minecraft inside Elden Ring and Halo: Combat Evolved into web browsers. - Fallout: New York, a browser game built with Claude, went dark on Oct. 1, 2026, after its creator said he had received a cease-and-desist letter from Bethesda. - AnyPS5, an open-source project that converts PlayStation 5 game files into programs that run natively on PC, has fueled online speculation that Grand Theft Auto VI, due Nov. 19, 2026, on consoles only, could reach PC. 2026-10-19 16:05:33
Four-legged robots to patrol Cheonan parks in Korean first SEOUL, October 19 (AJP) - Four-legged robots will patrol riverside trails and parks in Cheonan, a city south of Seoul, after regulators approved South Korea's first trial of legged robots on pedestrian paths, the city government said Monday. The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Resources' regulatory sandbox committee granted the trial a special exemption on Oct. 13, on condition that it meets additional requirements. The decision lets the robots patrol Cheoncheon Stream, Cheonhoji Lake and Cheonan Three-way Intersection Park. The robots, built by consortium member Maum.AI, use physical AI to sense their surroundings and move through real spaces. When floods or crimes break out, they can guide people to safety and send live footage to a control center so responders can act early. Legs let the machines climb stairs and slopes that rail-mounted patrol robots cannot reach, covering blind spots that closed-circuit cameras miss, the city said. Wheeled delivery robots have been allowed on South Korean sidewalks since November 2023 once they pass a government safety certification. The ministry called the Cheonan trial the first to let a four-legged robot patrol pedestrian roads. "We will make Cheonan a testbed where physical AI and other AI technologies are tested and verified in real urban spaces," said Cheonan Mayor Jang Ki-soo. AJP Takeaways - Cheonan will run South Korea's first trial of four-legged patrol robots on pedestrian paths, at Cheoncheon stream, Cheonho Reservoir and Samgeori Park. - The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Resources' regulatory sandbox committee gave the trial conditional approval on Oct. 13, 2026. The robots were built by Maum AI. - The robots are meant to reach stairs and slopes that wheeled or rail-mounted robots and CCTV cannot cover. Wheeled delivery robots have been allowed on Korean sidewalks since November 2023. 2026-10-19 09:43:06
Samsung Biologics pitches one-stop ADC services in US SEOUL, October 19 (AJP) - Samsung Biologics courted drugmakers in San Diego last week with an offer to take antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) from early research to commercial production at a single site, the South Korean contract manufacturer said Monday. The company ran its own booth for a third straight year at World ADC San Diego 2026, which drew more than 400 companies and over 1,300 attendees from Oct. 12 to 15. ADCs, often called guided missiles, attach a potent cancer-killing drug to an antibody that homes in on tumor cells, limiting damage to healthy tissue. Samsung Biologics entered the ADC contract development and manufacturing market in March 2025 by opening a dedicated facility in Songdo, Incheon, west of Seoul. It plans to add a line that turns ADCs into finished drug products by 2027, which would complete its end-to-end lineup. Marc Studer, head of ADC and mRNA operations, set out the company's plans to scale up commercial ADC production in an Oct. 14 presentation. Company researchers also showed posters on dual-target ADCs and on drug testing with organoids, miniature tumors grown from patients' cells. "We showcased CDMO capabilities that can flexibly meet clients' increasingly diverse needs, from ADCs to bispecific antibodies and organoids," said Lee Sang-myung, vice president in charge of CDO development. He said the company would keep expanding into new drug types such as peptides. AJP Takeaways - Samsung Biologics promoted research-to-production ADC services at a single Songdo site at World ADC San Diego 2026, held Oct. 12 to 15. - The company began running a dedicated ADC facility in Songdo in March 2025 and plans to add an ADC finished-drug-product line by 2027. - Samsung Biologics said it will expand into new drug types such as peptides after antibodies, ADCs, bispecific antibodies and organoids. 2026-10-19 09:10:43
OpenAI pitches AI cyber defense to breach-hit Korea SEOUL, October 16 (AJP) - OpenAI on Friday urged South Korean corporate security chiefs to bring artificial intelligence into their cyber defenses. About 60 executives, including chief information security officers, gathered for the company's Cyber CXO Roundtable in Seoul's Gangnam District, where OpenAI set out strategies for countering AI-powered threats. Dominic Grillo, OpenAI's head of technical success, and security engineer Wana Tun said AI is rapidly honing its ability to unearth software flaws and map attack paths, which leaves companies less time to respond. They said defenders should give AI the code and operating context of their systems so they can plug holes before attackers strike. The warning came weeks after hackers breached internet-facing support systems at four lenders, including Shinhan Bank and KB Kookmin Bank, in late September. Financial Security Institute investigators found traces of ARTEX, an open-source AI penetration-testing platform, on suspected attack servers, though how much AI was involved has not been confirmed. OpenAI showcased Daybreak, a defense package that links its AI models with Codex and Codex Security, and said many major Korean companies have adopted it or are considering it. The system finds flaws, tests in a controlled setting whether they can be exploited, and drafts fixes. "Companies must treat cybersecurity as a core management priority if they are to quickly identify and respond to major security risks in the AI era," said Kim Kyung-hoon, CEO of OpenAI Korea. "We will help Korean companies bring AI into their existing security systems, see results on the ground and turn them into real defensive capability." AJP Takeaways - OpenAI briefed about 60 South Korean corporate executives, including chief information security officers, on AI-era cyber defense at a roundtable in Seoul on Oct. 16, 2026. - The briefing came after hackers breached support systems at Shinhan Bank, KB Kookmin Bank, Hana Bank and BNK Busan Bank in late September 2026, and after Kakao VX said on Oct. 8, 2026 that data on about 34,000 Kakao Golf Booking customers had leaked. - OpenAI said many major Korean companies have adopted or are considering Daybreak, its cyber defense package built on its AI models, Codex and Codex Security. 2026-10-16 15:31:18
Hanwha Solutions clears 500kV cable material test in China SEOUL, October 16 (AJP) - Hanwha Solutions' insulation materials for 500-kilovolt alternating current power cables have passed qualification testing in China, the South Korean company said Friday. The type test, overseen by Shanghai-based certification body TICW, put Hanwha's cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulation and semiconductive materials through separate trials with Chinese cable makers Qingdao Hanhe and TBEA. It assessed insulation performance and long-term reliability under extreme-voltage conditions. The result adds to the company's existing qualification at the 400kV class. Hanwha is also seeking certification from KEMA, an international testing and certification body, to widen sales to high-voltage cable makers beyond Asia. The company expects global sales of its super extra-high-voltage (SEHV) XLPE to nearly double this year from 2025. Sales of its ultrahigh-voltage materials in China, including 325kV-class SEHV XLPE, are forecast to grow about threefold over the same period. "Passing the 500kV-class type test is a significant milestone that shows Hanwha Solutions has secured globally competitive technological reliability in materials for ultrahigh-voltage transmission cables," said Carlo Scarlata, head of the company's Wire & Cable division. Higher-voltage lines carry more power over longer distances with less loss, which matters more as remote wind and solar farms feed growing grids. China's State Grid plans to invest 4 trillion yuan ($597.8 billion) in its network from 2026 to 2030, up 40 percent from the previous five years, according to the state-run Xinhua News Agency. AJP Takeaways - Hanwha Solutions said on Oct. 16, 2026 that its XLPE insulation and semiconductive materials for 500kV-class HVAC power cables passed type testing in China, run by TICW with cable makers Qingdao Hanhe and TBEA. - The company expects its global sales of super extra-high-voltage XLPE in 2026 to nearly double from 2025, and its sales of ultrahigh-voltage materials in China to grow about threefold. - Hanwha Solutions is also seeking KEMA certification to sell to cable makers beyond Asia, as China's State Grid plans to invest 4 trillion yuan in its network from 2026 to 2030. 2026-10-16 09:21:34
Smilegate takes aim at Roblox with game-making platform SEOUL, October 16 (AJP) - Smilegate, the South Korean developer behind "Lost Ark," is testing a platform that lets users build and publish their own 3D multiplayer games, according to a creator guide released by the company. The platform, called ZAMMYSMITH, runs on the Unity game engine and has been in closed beta testing since early this year. Creators can use familiar Unity workflows and import assets from the Unity Asset Store. ZAMMYSMITH also handles network management and state synchronization, the grunt work that usually takes up the most time in multiplayer development. Creators write code in Lua, a lightweight scripting language, and can start from ready-made template games. Finished titles run on both mobile and PC. Smilegate filed a trademark application for the name in March and has begun hiring for the project. One recruitment notice seeks developers with "extensive experience in mods and sandbox content such as Roblox, Fortnite and Minecraft." Roblox, launched in 2006, works less like a single game than a sprawling digital theme park built by its own users. Its titles range from obstacle courses to role-play towns, are free to enter, and double as online hangouts where players meet friends. Roblox averaged 123 million daily active users in the April-June quarter, up 10 percent from a year earlier, the company said in its July 30 earnings release. Nearly three-quarters of users who completed age checks in the last week of June were under 18, and creators on the platform earned more than $1.5 billion in 2025, up from $923 million a year earlier. Smilegate has not set a launch date for ZAMMYSMITH. The company already operates STOVE, its own PC game distribution platform. AJP Takeaways - Smilegate, the South Korean developer of "Lost Ark," has been running a closed beta of ZAMMYSMITH since early 2026. ZAMMYSMITH is a Unity-based platform for making and publishing 3D multiplayer games. - Smilegate filed a trademark application for ZAMMYSMITH in March 2026 and is hiring developers with experience in Roblox, Fortnite and Minecraft content. - Roblox reported an average of 123 million daily active users for the second quarter of 2026, up 10 percent from a year earlier. 2026-10-16 08:48:13
Korean physicist wins UK's Thomson Medal SEOUL, October 16 (AJP) - Kim Myung-shik, a South Korean physicist at Imperial College London, has won Britain's Joseph Thomson Medal and Prize, the university said on Oct. 12. The Institute of Physics (IOP), which awards the silver medal, honored Kim "for foundational advances that redefined nonclassicality as a physical resource." His work showed that entanglement and other distinctly quantum traits of light and matter can be harnessed for computing, communication and sensing, carrying quantum optics into mechanical, plasmonic and gravitational regimes. The medal, named after J.J. Thomson, the British physicist who discovered the electron and won the 1906 Nobel Prize in Physics, recognizes distinguished work in atomic or molecular physics. Kim is its first Korean winner since its 2008 launch. Kim, a Sogang University graduate, earned his doctorate at Imperial in 1988 and taught at Sogang and Queen's University Belfast before returning to London. He received South Korea's Ho-Am Prize in Science in 2016. "It has been a great pleasure to work with brilliant students and wonderful colleagues who shaped my understanding of quantum mechanics," Kim said in a statement released by Imperial. "This award is a recognition of the work that was possible with them." AJP Takeaways - Imperial College London physicist Kim Myungshik received the Institute of Physics' 2026 Joseph Thomson Medal and Prize, announced Oct. 12, 2026. - The IOP silver medal, named after electron discoverer J.J. Thomson, honors distinguished work in atomic or molecular physics. No Korean had won it since it was first awarded in 2008. - Kim was recognized for showing that the quantum properties of light and matter can be harnessed for computing, communication and sensing. 2026-10-16 08:48:00
AI in the room poses new headache ahead of Korea's CSAT SEOUL, October 15 (AJP) - Artificial intelligence can now outperform humans on some academic tests, making it a dream stand-in for test-takers. A few have begun taking the risk — only to be caught because their high-tech helpers were too easy to spot. A proctor at the University of Seoul flagged an applicant's thick, oddly shaped frames during an Oct. 3 essay exam for early admission. They were smart glasses. The student was removed from the exam room, failed the test and was barred from applying to the university for three years. At Yonsei University, an applicant passed a pre-exam eyewear check wearing ordinary glasses on Oct. 10, then apparently swapped them for a smart pair after the math essay papers were handed out. A proctor spotted the glasses mid-exam and removed the student, who later admitted using them. The cases surfaced about five weeks before the Nov. 19 College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT), or Suneung called in Korea for the once-a-year national university entrance exam. Some 551,864 people have registered to sit it, according to the Korea Institute for Curriculum and Evaluation. How worried should proctors be about AI glasses? Tehmong, a tech YouTuber with about 941,000 subscribers, completed a 30-question Suneung math mock test in 18 minutes in June using Rokid AI Glasses paired with a phone app. He scored 96 out of 100, missing only a question the camera failed to scan. All that brainpower needs room. A camera, microphones, speakers and a battery have to fit into the frames. At Yonsei, the battery and camera made the swapped pair look different from ordinary glasses. "We are now entering an era where AI accompanies us at eye level," said Kim Jin-ah, Meta Korea's country director, when Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta glasses went on sale in Korea in May, starting at 690,000 won ($511.7). Korean proctors are now watching at the same level. One Chinese model sells for about 130,000 won on Taobao, less than a fifth of Meta's starting price. Some budget models conceal the camera in a pinhole or omit the recording indicator light built into Meta's glasses. Education authorities are taking no chances. Guidelines released Thursday by the Korea Institute for Curriculum and Evaluation explicitly list smart glasses among items prohibited in examination rooms. Candidates who fail to surrender them before the first session and wear them during the test will have their results invalidated and be barred from the following year’s Suneung — even without evidence that they used the devices to obtain answers. Simply possessing the glasses in violation of exam rules will invalidate the current year’s test. Refusing a proctor’s request to inspect eyewear could also be classified as serious misconduct following a review, carrying the same penalties as wearing the devices during the exam. Candidates asked to undergo a check must remove their glasses, place them on their desks and cooperate with the inspection. Proctors may check eyewear while verifying identities and watches, or during the exam itself. Education Minister Choi Kyo-jin called smart glasses "a new threat" at a parliamentary audit on Oct. 7. He said the government plans to disqualify anyone caught cheating with them from that year's Suneung and the following year's exam. Proctors are being given a handbook, a brochure on identifying the glasses and a training video. "Smart glasses have been explicitly designated as prohibited items in examination rooms, establishing a basis for taking disciplinary action against their use as a form of cheating," Seoul Education Superintendent Jeon Geun-sik said at a parliamentary audit Wednesday. A radio-signal detector developed by the Korea Communications Agency, a state agency overseeing broadcasting and radio services, will undergo field testing at an exam site later this month. Portable units are due at the agency's own certification test sites by year-end, with full deployment planned from early 2027. The Suneung is not included in that rollout. The extra policing duties are drawing objections from teachers. A secondary school teachers’ union launched a nationwide petition Thursday, arguing that the exam system already places too much responsibility on individual teachers. “Teachers already carry out a range of duties, including cleaning and preparing examination rooms, checking broadcasting equipment and facilities, attending advance training and supervising exams for long hours,” the union said. It called for additional time and support staff to check AI devices, along with clear procedures for assessing suspected violations and determining who bears responsibility. Samsung Electronics, which plans to launch its own AI glasses next month, has promoted ultra-thin injection molding for the frames. Until the hardware slims down, the surest sign of artificial genius in a Korean exam hall may be the thickness of a student's glasses. AJP Takeaways - Proctors caught applicants wearing AI smart glasses during early-admission essay exams at the University of Seoul on Oct. 3, 2026, and at Yonsei University on Oct. 10, 2026. - A YouTuber wearing AI glasses scored 96 out of 100 on a 30-question suneung math mock test in 18 minutes in June 2026. - Ray-Ban Meta glasses start at 690,000 won in South Korea, and one Chinese model sells for about 130,000 won on Taobao. - Smart glasses are banned from exam rooms for the Nov. 19, 2026 suneung, and Education Minister Choi Kyo-jin said violators would lose eligibility for that year's exam and the next. 2026-10-15 14:50:12
Nuri-launched microsatellites send first Earth images SEOUL, October 15 (AJP) - Five South Korean microsatellites carried into orbit by the homegrown Nuri rocket beamed back their first images of Earth within 15 hours of launch, the Korea AeroSpace Administration (KASA) said Thursday. The satellites captured their first images and relayed them to a ground station 14 hours and 29 minutes after lifting off from the Naro Space Center in Goheung, South Jeolla Province, at 12:25 p.m. on Oct. 7. The fifth Nuri flight carried a record 15 satellites and a payload topping 1 ton for the first time. It released the five primary satellites one after another at about 575 kilometers, followed by nine of its 10 CubeSats. All five satellites, built on a production line, are in contact with ground stations, and their power generation and attitude control systems are working normally, KASA said. The agency said the early images show the satellites and their optical cameras are functioning as designed. "This early image acquisition is a meaningful achievement that proves microsatellites mass-produced with domestic technology are operating stably in orbit," KASA Administrator Oh Tae-seog said. Oh said the result built on experience from earlier prototype and verification satellites. KASA and KAIST will finish checking the onboard cameras before gradually spacing the five satellites at set intervals to form a constellation. The satellites will be handed over to the Korea Satellite Operations Center on Jeju Island next year to supply imagery for national security and disaster response. Five more satellites are scheduled to fly on Nuri's sixth launch in 2027 under the government's plan, completing a 10-satellite fleet designed to photograph the Korean Peninsula at least three times a day. Each satellite weighs less than 100 kilograms and carries an optical camera with a black-and-white resolution of about 1 meter. AJP Takeaways - Five NEONSAT microsatellites launched on South Korea's Nuri rocket on Oct. 7, 2026, captured and transmitted their first Earth images 14 hours and 29 minutes after liftoff, according to the Korea AeroSpace Administration and KAIST. - Nuri's fifth flight carried a record 15 satellites and more than 1 ton of payload, deploying all five primary satellites and nine of 10 CubeSats at about 575 kilometers. - The satellites will move to the Korea Satellite Operations Center in Jeju in 2027, and five more are set to launch on Nuri's sixth flight that year to complete a 10-satellite constellation. 2026-10-15 12:18:46
Korean display lets sound follow the picture SEOUL, October 15 (AJP) - A speakerless display developed by South Korean state researchers moves sound across the screen along with the image, vibrating only the spot where a voice or object appears, the Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials said Thursday. The prototype, measuring about 100 inches, pairs a transparent LED film with an aluminum panel driven by 80 voice coil motors mounted on its back. Tests showed the display steered sound to the targeted section of the screen with 99.9 percent accuracy. The system uses an inverse-problem method to calculate a voltage signal for each actuator, setting only the chosen zone in motion. Vibration in active zones was up to 35 decibels stronger than in silent ones, and an AI model locates sound sources in the video and separates individual sounds in real time. Speakers on conventional large screens sit apart from the picture, so the sound comes from a different direction than the action and weakens immersion. The new modules can be joined or separated to fit anything from a living-room TV to a giant outdoor billboard, and several can vibrate together to produce bass similar to a large woofer. “The modular grid technology matches the position of a sound source on screen with the direction the sound is actually heard from, delivering an immersive audiovisual experience that existing displays have struggled to provide,” said Kim Dong-jun, a senior researcher at the institute’s AX Convergence Research Center. Kim said the team plans to extend the technology to modular LED tile displays. AJP Takeaways - The Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials said on Oct. 15, 2026, that it had developed a speakerless display that plays sound from the exact screen position of the on-screen source. - Its prototype of about 100 inches, driven by 80 voice coil motors, steered sound to target zones with 99.9 percent accuracy, with up to a 35-decibel vibration gap between active and silent zones. - The modular design scales from home TVs to large billboards, and the institute plans to extend it to modular LED tile displays. 2026-10-15 09:41:43
