Calls grow to elevate Korea sovereign AI model project to national security amid Mythos threats

As AI-driven cyber threats such as Claude Mythos emerge, calls are growing to elevate South Korea’s sovereign AI foundation model project into a national security tool. A security panel under the National AI Strategy Committee reviewed Mythos and discussed upgrading the project’s status, building real-time AI defence and strengthening global cooperation. Security use was cited from the start, and officials and aides have stressed strategic control. The stage-two assessment in August may reflect security capabilities.
