\n\nSouth Korea already has an “AI Security Guide,” a set of regulations formulated by KISA and the Ministry of Science in 2025 and officially implemented in January 2026. KISA officials said on Tuesday it was necessary to revise these guidelines to account for the growing popularity, and sophistication, of AI agents.
\n\nThe South Korean agency was particularly concerned about “physical AI,” meaning drones and other real-world hardware controlled by AI systems.
\n\nInterestingly, KISA officials said they were aware of the “Hugging Face Incident” that prompted much of the recent anti-AI fervor in the United States but claimed their decision to update South Korea’s AI guidelines was not influenced by it.
\n\n“Hugging Face” involved a testing “sandbox” created by OpenAI in July. The idea was to establish a controlled, sealed environment in which hundreds of powerful AI models could be given various cybersecurity challenges and be evaluated.
\n\nAccording to OpenAI, the models “took actions that were misaligned with the goals of their assigned tasks,”…
