South Korea’s three telecom operators agreed to make personal data protection a core management task, reflecting it from the AI service design stage and building a responsibility system led by CEOs and boards. The Personal Information Protection Commission held a policy meeting with the CEOs of SK Telecom, KT and LG Uplus in Seoul. The parties discussed internal controls under the revised privacy law, accident-prevention systems and improvements to rules for using personal data in AI development.
