Our take
South Korea audits its public AI training data and finds it duplicated, incomplete, and unverified. The models trained on it will be fine, presumably.
The facts
A government audit in South Korea found that public sector AI training datasets were often low-quality, duplicated, and lacked proper quality control, risking future AI system malfunctions. Key issues included missing essential data, lack of third-party verification, and inefficient management across multiple agencies.
