  • •Korea needs to develop AI-ready ontologies for better governance and cybersecurity.
  • •Representative Lee Jun-seok's office identified misuse of 562.8 billion won through data analysis.
  • •The initiative aims to enhance administrative efficiency and address legal inconsistencies.

Experts at a Korea Times roundtable emphasized the need for Korea to develop AI-ready ontologies to improve its artificial intelligence (AI) strategy. They argue that current efforts are too focused on model development and lack a structured knowledge system. Representative Lee Jun-seok highlighted the importance of requiring each government ministry to create its own ontology to drive AI transformation. His office's recent project converted data on 1.05 million products and 2.8 million procurement orders into ontologies, revealing potential misuse of 562.8 billion won ($418.4 million) in taxpayer funds. The initiative aims to enhance administrative efficiency and identify inconsistencies in government data. Additionally, there is a push to convert Korea's laws and regulations into ontologies to address legal discrepancies. Experts stress that building these systems is crucial for national security and effective governance.
