The government will open the Korea Fair Trade Commission (FTC) decision AI training data, which optimizes the Korea Fair Trade Commission's resolutions on cases violating the Fair Trade Act for artificial intelligence (AI) learning. With the data opened, there is an outlook that new services will launch that automatically review risk factors when corporations conduct business activities or sign contracts.
The Ministry of the Interior and Safety on the 1st released the list of AI and high-value public data the government will open this year. The Ministry of the Interior and Safety (MOIS) opened 10 datasets last year and plans to open 25 datasets this year. It plans to release 30 next year and 35 the year after, opening a total of 100.
Among the AI datasets selected for release this year, the Korea Fair Trade Commission (FTC) decision AI training data stands out. The dataset is characterized by being finely classified and structured into resolution summaries, facts, determinations, and related statutes. A government official said, "We expect an environment where ordinary people and small business owners can easily look up whether complex unfair trade practices are involved."
The Rural Development Administration will open crop pest and disease diagnosis data. The dataset includes detailed descriptions such as symptoms of diseases occurring in crops and images of adult and larval forms of pests. A government official said, "If the opening of data leads to the launch of services that diagnose pests and diseases early and accurately, farm productivity will improve significantly," adding, "AI diagnosis
results will enable timely control measures, which will also greatly contribute to realizing eco-friendly agriculture by preventing the misuse and overuse of chemicals," the official said.
In addition, the renewable energy technical potential data (Korea Institute of Energy Research (KIER)) will be opened, which organizes, by location criteria such as latitude and longitude and administrative districts, the potential capacity for generation using seven types of renewable energy—solar, wind, hydro, marine, biomass, waste, and geothermal. The cultural sector AI training data (Korea Culture Information Service Agency (KCISA)), which contains images of traditional architecture and more, and the special bridge safety inspection and management data (Korea Authority of Land & Infrastructure Safety (KALIS)), which includes damage videos of special bridges along with causes and repair measures, will also be opened.
Yoon Ho-jung, Minister of the Ministry of the Interior and Safety (MOIS), said, "We will swiftly open the data requested by AI corporations to support corporate growth and help realize Korea as one of the world's top three AI powerhouses," adding, "We will shift to an AI-friendly public data management system and pursue public data policies that align with the times."
