AI arrives but rules stuck in SI era; software industry urges overhaul of network separation and pay system

South Korea’s software industry says domestic rules and ordering practices remain stuck in the system integration era despite the rapid spread of AI. Speakers at a digital policy forum called for urgent reforms, citing public and financial-sector network separation, a labour-input pricing system and service-centric public procurement as barriers. Participants urged a shift to logical security, support for token costs and faster procedures, and called for value-based pricing that reflects computing and infrastructure costs.
