( June 9, 2026, 04:12 GMT | Official Statement) -- MLex Summary: South Korea’s privacy regulator has released a 2026–2030 roadmap for privacy technology R&D and standardization aimed at supporting safe personal-data use in the artificial intelligence era. The Personal Information Protection Commission said Tuesday the roadmap consolidates earlier R&D and standardization plans and updates target technologies and standards across the data lifecycle, reflecting rising risks from agentic and physical AI, AI training-data exposure and re-identification. It identifies 11 core technologies across four areas, including data-subject rights, leak-risk reduction, trusted data use and AI-specific privacy safeguards. Priorities include privacy-risk assessment for generative and foundation AI models, controls for AI agents and robots, dark-web breach detection, synthetic-data and de-identification technologies and deepfake verification and labeling. The plan also sets out a 10-year strategy to train specialized privacy-technology experts.Statement is attached (in Korean)....
