Hyundai Motor Group has temporarily suspended the use of external generative artificial intelligence (AI) in its core research and development (R&D) organizations. This decision aims to prevent potential leaks of internal information, including national core technologies, while expanding AI applications in future businesses such as autonomous driving and robotics.
According to industry sources on November 3, Hyundai Motor Group has recently restricted the use of external generative AI services within R&D organizations that handle national core technologies. The services affected include Anthropic's 'Claude', Alibaba's 'Qwen', and the Chinese AI company DeepMind. However, AI models that can be installed and operated directly on internal infrastructure, such as Google's 'Gemini', are allowed under limited conditions.
This measure is seen as a response to concerns that technical information inputted into external AI services could be transmitted to external servers or used as training data. Given that these organizations deal with national core technologies, there is a heightened need to reassess security risks associated with AI utilization.
Hyundai Motor Group has been promoting AI transformation (AX) focused on future businesses like autonomous driving and robotics. This recent action is not a complete halt to AI adoption but rather a reassessment of the security of external services used by organizations handling core technologies.
A Hyundai Motor Group official stated, "We have temporarily suspended usage to review the organization's AI utilization strategies and security measures."
