The Ministry of Science and ICT announced plans to develop measures for artificial intelligence (AI) glasses in collaboration with relevant government departments.
On the 23rd, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Science and ICT Lee Kwang-hoon stated during a comprehensive audit by the National Assembly's Science and Technology and Broadcasting Committee that they are analyzing the market situation of AI glasses with the Personal Information Protection Commission and other relevant agencies. He emphasized that they will swiftly prepare appropriate responses.
During the session, Democratic Party lawmaker Lee Jeong-heon pointed out that the ministry lacks a proper understanding of the current status of AI glasses. He noted that the National Radio Research Agency has not provided adequate certification statistics and highlighted that all 13 relevant departments within the ministry responded 'not applicable' when asked about their responsibilities regarding the AI glasses industry.
Lee also stressed the need for faster policy research related to AI glasses, stating that the call for proposals for policy research projects will not be issued until next summer. He expressed concern that there would be no measures in place to prevent illegal filming and other crimes until then.
In response, Deputy Prime Minister Lee mentioned that issues related to AI glasses were also raised during the last Cabinet meeting, indicating that the Ministry of Labor, Ministry of Education, and other departments will work together to establish countermeasures.
