The Korea Internet & Security Agency (KISA) announced on the 29th that it signed a multi-party memorandum of understanding for the establishment of an AI agent-based missing person search system at Bucheon City Hall.
The parties participating in the agreement include Bucheon Urban Development Corporation, Bucheon City, three police stations within Bucheon (Bucheon Sosa Police Station, Bucheon Ojeong Police Station, and Bucheon Wonmi Police Station), Chung-Ang University, Kudo Communication, and Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, among eight institutional investors.
This agreement was pursued to establish a field application system that links the platform under development with Bucheon City’s control environment, covering everything from missing person detection to search and investigation.
Under the agreement, these institutional investors will cooperate in areas such as △supporting the commercialization of the platform and creating a foundation for data-based technology advancement (KISA) △providing all necessary facilities for field validation, as well as providing data for platform operation and technology advancement (Bucheon City and Bucheon Urban Development Corporation) △technology verification and advancement through platform development and validation (Chung-Ang University, Kudo Communication Co., Ltd., and Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology) △and linking public safety operations, such as missing person searches, using platform data (police stations within Bucheon).
KISA, together with the Ministry of Science and ICT in March last year, solicited and selected projects for the “Commercialization Support Project for AI-Based Next-Generation Security Products.” It is currently developing and validating an AI agent-based integrated physical security platform for the protection of missing persons with the selected consortium (Kudo Communication, Chung-Ang University, and Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology).
Oh Jin-young, Head of the AI Security Industry Division at KISA, stated, “This case is significant as it represents the first step toward connecting a smart city into an integrated physical security control system based on AI agents.” He added, “Going forward, we will do our utmost to create a safe society where citizens can feel the benefits and a trustworthy technology industry ecosystem by leveraging advanced technologies, going beyond simple technology validation.”
