The ministry also recognised an internal project that used AI vibe coding to build a startup integrated management web app without outsourcing. Other selected cases included expanding a data safety option across all plans without fee increases and a nationwide survey and compensation system for shared internet equipment electricity charges.

Science, ICT and interior ministries to push disaster safety network smartwatch development
South Korea will develop a smartwatch dedicated to the disaster safety communications network to reduce the equipment burden on responders and deliver key information quickly, the government said. The Ministry of Science and ICT and the Ministry of the Interior and Safety selected the project as a new task under an emergency response research programme and will solicit research organisations.
