[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bong-su] The Ministry of Science and ICT has decided to establish a new security and guard system utilizing science and technology such as artificial intelligence (AI) in collaboration with the Presidential Security Service.

On the morning of the 19th, Minister Lee Jong-ho of the Ministry of Science and ICT signed a "Business Agreement for the Development of Science and Technology in the Field of Security, Guard, and Safety" with Kim Yong-hyun, Chief of the Presidential Security Service, at the Presidential Office in Yongsan, Seoul. The two met immediately after the Cabinet meeting that morning and agreed to cooperate in building a new security and guard system based on science and technology such as AI and big data to adapt to the changing security environment.

To this end, the two organizations plan to jointly promote a research and development (R&D) project next year to develop an X-ray security screening program using AI. They will also plan R&D to establish a manned and unmanned complex security and guard system applying science and technology such as secure wireless networks, AI, big data, and robots to respond to future threats. Earlier, the Presidential Security Service launched the "AI Science Security and Guard Platform Promotion Team" on the 12th to establish a scientific security system suitable for new conditions and environments in line with government policies to strengthen communication with the public, such as relocating the presidential office and opening Yongsan Park. The Security Service plans to promote technological cooperation not only with private companies but also with universities and research institutes to introduce security and guard systems incorporating cutting-edge information and communication technologies such as AI, 5G, and robots.

A Ministry of Science and ICT official stated, "We will strengthen mutual cooperation by jointly conducting R&D with the Security Service and exchanging personnel," adding, "We will strive to contribute to building an advanced security and guard system utilizing science and technology."
