Securing the Backbone of Artificial Intelligence: Protecting Data Centers
| By Seungmin (Helen) Lee | With the explosion in demand for artificial intelligence (AI) data centers to support the exponential integration of AI into businesses, operations, governments, and daily lives, the cybersecurity of AI data centers is becoming increasingly important. Given that AI data centers host AI models, weights, and training data, these centers face an expanded set of threats—particularly related to hardware, model, and geopolitical security. This report recommends a new framework to develop more cyber-secure AI data centers.
Korea’s Evolving AI Regulations
| By Seungmin (Helen) Lee | As AI innovation and development took off in South Korea, so did unethical and unreliable use of the technology. The country’s AI legal framework that passed in December 2024 was designed to place guardrails around the future of AI. However, its impact is yet to be determined.
