South Korea\'s National Assembly Science, ICT, Broadcasting and Communications Committee begins second-half activities after ruling and opposition parties completed member assignments. The panel is expected to focus on securing budgets and setting investment priorities for government AI projects, ensuring power supply for AI data centres and chip plants, and overhauling broadcasting and telecom rules. It is also set to debate regulation of false and manipulated information, follow-up work on the AI basic law and media fund financing.

South Korea\'s new Broadcast and Media Communications Commission held its first full meeting and began formal operations, but regulation of over-the-top video services remains split across three ministries. Under current law, OTT is classified as a value-added telecommunications service, with the science ministry handling platform and telecom areas and the culture ministry overseeing ratings and video promotion. Officials say they are seeking to resolve jurisdictional issues through an audiovisual media services law, as OTT use rises and fairness concerns persist.
