Kim Jang-gyeom of the People Power Party claimed that controversy is accelerating after President Lee Jae-myung asked an AI (artificial intelligence) about the issue of the Major Crimes Investigation Agency chief attending the State Council meeting, asserting the possibility that information acquired during the operation of state affairs could be leaked through AI. Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Science and ICT Bae Kyu-hoon rebutted, stating, "There will be no leakage of sensitive information to the outside using AI."
Kim Jang-gyeom (Rep.) questioned Deputy Prime Minister Bae Kyu-hoon on the recent issue of President Lee's attendance of the Major Crimes Investigation Agency chief at the State Council meeting during the comprehensive audit of the Science, Technology and Information Korea Communications Commission held on the 23rd at the Seoul Yeouido National Assembly.
Kim (Rep.) said, "There is fierce controversy because it was reported that the President asked (AI) Gemini about the issue of the Major Crimes Investigation Agency chief attending the State Council meeting," and asked, "As the ministry in charge of AI, do you consider this controversy desirable?"
He continued, "The hacking problem through AI is arriving faster than we thought," and pointed out, "President Lee only disclosed Gemini's answer, but did not reveal what question was actually asked. It has not been confirmed at all what information was input or what documents were attached, nor what the security classification of those materials was."
Kim (Rep.) stated, "It must be thoroughly investigated whether the President has ever provided non-public state materials or sensitive policy information acquired in his capacity as President to AI," and said, "The President, ministers, and Cheong Wa Dae senior secretaries will have work confidentiality classifications, and if they input that into AI, who is responsible for security?"
Deputy Prime Minister Bae explained regarding the controversy over the attendance of the Major Crimes Investigation Agency chief at the State Council meeting, "Lee Mi (President) made a relevant remark (that attendance is possible) and expressed his will regarding the method of the State Council meeting using AI."
The Deputy Prime Minister said, "Regarding the use of public AI, the Ministry of the Interior and Safety has finalized and announced ethical standards on various issues such as bias, discrimination, and infringement of personal information," and stated, "The principle of disclosing the State Council meeting is based on the philosophy of informing the people of all matters and being transparent. There will be no leakage of sensitive matters to the outside using AI, other than materials that state council members can disclose to the people."
