South Korea cannot achieve AI full-stack self-reliance in the short term because of high foreign dependence across the technology stack, from semiconductors and accelerators to application software, a report said. KISDI urged resetting strategy toward minimum dependence and maximum competitiveness, with near-term 집중 investment in AI models and cloud. A survey of 38 experts found high overseas dependence in six of nine stacks and below-average competitiveness across all areas.

Microsoft has released an open-source standard called the Agent Control Spec to manage what AI agents are allowed or prohibited from doing. The specification helps developers and security and compliance teams define agent behavior rules in policy files. Policies can cover permitted and banned actions, points requiring human approval, and what records to keep for later review. The rules are applied at multiple checkpoints throughout an agent’s workflow and support plugins for major agent frameworks.
