South Korea's Broadcast Media Telecommunications Committee said on Friday it discussed with the U.S. state of Nevada ways to cooperate on broadcast, media and telecommunications policy, including protecting artificial intelligence users and responding to disinformation.

The committee delegation has been visiting Nevada since Jan. 5 on a six-day trip.

On Jan. 8 local time, the delegation met Thomas J. Burns, Nevada's economic development director, at the state's economic development office. They discussed policy issues including tasks to protect users as the use of AI expands and responses to disinformation. The two sides shared policy trends and agreed to strengthen joint responses through continued cooperation.

Earlier, on Jan. 6 local time, the delegation met Mitch Fox, head of the Nevada Broadcasters Association, and executives from local broadcasters. They exchanged views on broadcasting's public role, including delivering disaster and public interest information, and next-generation broadcasting technology.

During CES, the delegation visited the Korea pavilion showcasing South Korean innovative technology and attended the opening ceremony of the 'Korean Broadcasting System (KBS) VVERTIGO exhibition'. It heard an explanation of the technology development process and plans for global cooperation, and encouraged officials.

On Jan. 7 local time, Shin Seung-han, director for market research and review, gave a presentation at the 'Next K-Wave Entertech Forum', a CES-linked event, under the theme of 'South Korea's broadcasting and telecommunications policy and international cooperation in the AI era'.

The committee said it plans to further strengthen international cooperation in broadcast, media and telecommunications policy and in the AI field following the visit.
