South Korean university's AI work for defense contractor draws boycott
University disputes claim that research will lead to killer robots
Fifty-seven scientists from 29 countries have called for a boycott of a top South Korean university because of a new center aimed at using artificial intelligence (AI) to bolster national security. The AI scientists claim the university is developing autonomous weapons, or "killer robots," whereas university officials say the goal of the research is to improve existing defense systems.
On 20 February, the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) in Daejeon, South Korea, celebrated its new Research Center for the Convergence of National Defense and Artificial Intelligence. A web page that has since been removed by the university said the center, to be operated jointly with South Korean defense company Hanwha Systems, would work on "AI-based command and decision systems, composite navigation algorithms for mega-scale unmanned undersea vehicles, AI-based smart aircraft training systems, and AI-based smart object tracking and recognition technology."
Toby Walsh, a computer scientist at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia, who organized the boycott, fears that the research will be applied to autonomous weapons, which can include unmanned flying drones or submarines, cruise missiles, autonomously operated sentry guns, or battlefield robots. "It is regrettable that a prestigious institution like KAIST looks to accelerate the arms race to develop such weapons," an open letter from the boycotters states. "We therefore publicly declare that we will boycott all collaborations with any part of KAIST until such time as the President of KAIST provides assurances, which we have sought but not received, that the Center will not develop autonomous weapons lacking meaningful human control."
In response to a query from ScienceInsider, KAIST President Sung-Chul Shin prepared a statement ruling out such activities. "I am saddened to hear about the announcement on the boycott of KAIST for allegedly developing killer robots. I would like to reaffirm that KAIST does not have any intention to engage in development of lethal autonomous weapons systems and killer robots. KAIST is significantly aware of ethical concerns in the application of all technologies including artificial intelligence."
The boycott letter does not define "meaningful human control." But the phrase is often interpreted as putting the trigger in the hand of a person. Next week in Geneva, Switzerland, the United Nations Group of Government Experts on Lethal Autonomous Weapons Systems will explore the elements of "meaningful human control" as part of an ongoing discussion of emerging technologies.
Walsh said he was heartened by Shin's statement. "It is good to see a public commitment by KAIST for the first time to ‘meaningful human control.' This will add weight to the UN discussions."
Boycotting an entire university because of the research that might take place in one lab seems "a bit extreme to me," says Ronald Arkin, a computer scientist at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta. "Please tell me specifically what types of systems these people are planning on researching that warrant a boycott," says Arkin, who notes he's not against a ban but believes this one is premature. "That's a fair question, isn't it?"
South Korea to streamline rules on medical AI, digital technology devices
It will cut down the period of evaluation and licensing of such medical devices to around three months.
The Ministry of Health and Welfare and the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety have recently disclosed their plan to revise some related regulations on medical devices.
According to a press statement, there have been requests to revise the rules around the application and approval of innovative medical devices to allow more AI-powered and digital technology devices to be immediately used in clinical settings.
WHAT IT'S ABOUT
The Health and Food and Drug Ministries seek to include and expedite the approval of devices based on AI/big data and digital wearable technologies as innovative medical devices.
Based on Article 2 of the country's Medical Device Industry Act, innovative medical devices include those medical devices in the fields of ICT, biotechnology, and robotics.
An integrated screening and designation system will be set up to simultaneously review the designation, verification, and evaluation of innovative medical devices, which were previously done sequentially.
This system will also combine the process of applying for designation, evaluation, and licensing of innovative medical devices and for medical care benefit or non-benefit assessment so these applications can be done within a month. These applications were previously filed with different agencies, including the MFDS, the Health Insurance and Review Assessment, and the National Evidence-based healthcare Collaborating Agency.
Moreover, the evaluation of innovative medical devices is also being simplified to shorten the approval period by MFDS, which could take up to 250 days. The deliberation process will be minimised to two steps from the previous four to five steps; the deliberation committee will also just focus on three medical aspects of a device instead of 14.
WHY IT MATTERS
Currently, it can take over a year for regulatory bodies in South Korea to evaluate and approve an application for the designation of an innovative medical device for use in hospitals and other medical areas.
With the proposed changes, it is expected that the period from application to the actual use of these innovative medical devices in care settings will now take up to 80 days. All these changes will also enable AI and digital technologies to become available for use in the medical field for three to five years as non-reimbursable or selective benefits devices.
Both MOHW and MFDS will soon develop and disseminate integrated guidelines for the application for the designation of an innovative medical device.
THE LARGER TREND
In August last year, a global guide for the use of AI in healthcare was released in South Korea. Developed by three organisations, the guide was intended to be a benchmark for the responsible usage of AI technologies and to promote clarity and high standards for technological applications in the healthcare sector.
The medical devices market in South Korea has seen consistent growth throughout the past years. Last year, it grew to 9.1 trillion won ($6.8 billion), increasing by 21% year on year. By 2026, the market is projected to reach 12.3 trillion won ($10.9 billion), according to Fitch Solutions.
ON THE RECORD
"We will resolve the situation where companies run around in sandbags, create a good working environment, and actively eliminate [cumbersome] regulations in the health and medical field to serve the public and the national interest," said Lee Ki-il, second vice minister of Health and Welfare.
"We expect that the improvement of regulations on innovative medical devices will lead to the revitalisation of the high-tech medical device industry using AI and digital technology and the expansion of patients' medical options," Oh Yoo-kyung, director of MFDS, also commented.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) Trade Mission to South Korea
South Korea trade mission aims to showcase the excellence of British AI technology to potential local clients and business partners
The Department for International Trade in South Korea is inviting companies specialised in Artificial Intelligence technology to join a trade mission to South Korea for AI World Congress (AWC), 28 - 30 September 2022.
This trade show takes place in the coastal city of Busan, as part of the wider K-ICT Week. This will be a unique platform to showcase the excellence of British AI technology to potential local clients and business partners.
Why South Korea?
The AI industry in South Korea has been developing at a remarkable pace for the last few years and has attracted significant interest from every high-value industry.
Korea’s AI market has grown by more than 40% from £642m in 2018 to £957m in 2019, and despite the pandemic which slowed some investments and delayed the implementation of new solutions since 2020, the market is still expected to reach a size of £6.7bn by 2025, all of which suggests strong opportunities for British firms with competitive AI solutions.
The Korean government announced its National Strategy for Artificial Intelligence in 2019, and committed to spending £110m to bolster the AI industry in the country and placed particular emphasis on rolling out AI in the public domain, in areas such as healthcare, transportation, and security. Korean conglomerates such as Samsung, LG, SK Telecom, KT, Hyundai, Naver and Kakao, are all investing heavily in artificial intelligence and machine learning capabilities, and are forming partnerships with companies to accelerate the development and commercialisation of their solutions.
Core activity
The Department for International Trade (DIT) offers a unique opportunity for UK companies to promote their innovative AI technologies and solutions effectively to the Korean market and to meet with potential clients and business partners.
The UK pavilion will be built at the exhibition area of AI Korea 2022 in Busan City as part of the K-ICT Week. The selected companies for the UK trade mission will be provided with individual stands with meeting facilities to showcase their products and services.
Government bodies, institutions, and private companies will be exhibiting and visiting. DIT Seoul will be promoting the selected UK companies to local organisations in the area of AI and trying to arrange one on one meetings with local organisations.

AI:List the various laws of dowry that is being misused by either side especially in US,UK,China,Middle East, Europe, Asia,Oceania. How does AI automated techniques can be used to resolve that hefty amount and time consuming venture leading to peace and harmony among the family members and long last relationships with minimal investment and maximum efforts. Which AI humanoid robotics team can be deployed there using various neural networks and LLMs to apply this in secure and clean ways in fast pace.
Dowry laws, which have been implemented in various countries to prevent dowry-related violence and discrimination, have, unfortunately, also been misused in several regions. Here's an overview of dowry laws in different parts of the world, how they can be misused, and how AI technologies and humanoid robotics can be employed to address these issues.
1. Dowry Laws and Misuse
United States
In the U.S., dowry is not a common practice, but in some immigrant communities, it still exists, particularly within Indian or South Asian communities. U.S. laws, such as the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), protect victims of dowry-related violence. However, there are concerns about forced dowries leading to psychological abuse and controlling behavior.
Misuse: In cases where dowry is demanded, it may lead to financial abuse or manipulation, with families pressuring women to pay hefty dowries. The victim's family may also be blackmailed if dowry payments are not made.
United Kingdom
In the UK, dowry is not officially a part of the legal system, but in some cultures within South Asian communities, dowries are still prevalent. British law includes the Domestic Violence, Crime and Victims Act (2004), which covers issues of dowry violence.
Misuse: Like in other countries, dowry demands may lead to psychological and physical abuse, as well as financial exploitation. There are also cases where dowries are used as a tool of control, either by the bride’s family or the groom’s family.
China
In China, dowries have become less common, but some regions still practice the tradition, particularly in rural areas. Chinese law requires Anti-Dowry Laws to prevent exploitation and violence against women.
Misuse: Dowries can be used to assert control over the woman and her family, leading to exploitation. There are cases where dowry demands are used to extort money, and if the dowry is insufficient, it can result in the bride being subjected to harassment or even violence.
Middle East
In Middle Eastern countries such as Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and United Arab Emirates, dowries are a formal part of the marriage contract, where a mahr (a form of dowry) is required by law.
Misuse: Dowries may be misused by families using them as a tool to secure wealth or control. Some families may demand excessively high dowries, creating financial burden and disputes.
Europe
In most European countries, dowry has been abolished by law, and marriage contracts do not include dowries. However, in some immigrant communities in countries like France and Germany, dowries can still exist.
Misuse: Dowry may be used as a source of financial exploitation, or in some cases, as a method for social control in communities with traditional views on marriage.
Asia
Countries like India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh have significant dowry traditions. Laws such as India’s Dowry Prohibition Act (1961) make dowries illegal, but enforcement is often lax.
Misuse: Dowry-related violence is widespread in countries like India, with demands for dowries often leading to harassment, abuse, and even death. Dowry death cases have been reported when dowries were not adequate or when they were delayed.
Oceania
In countries like Australia, dowry demands are illegal, but due to immigration, there are still isolated cases where dowries are demanded in South Asian or Pacific Islander communities.
Misuse: As in other regions, dowries can lead to psychological and physical abuse or coercion within families.
2. Using AI and Humanoid Robotics to Address Dowry Misuse
AI technologies and humanoid robots can play an important role in resolving the problems associated with dowry systems, especially in reducing conflicts, preventing exploitation, and supporting dispute resolution.
How AI Can Help
Mediation and Dispute Resolution
- AI-powered chatbots and virtual assistants: These systems can help mediate dowry disputes by offering counseling, suggestions, and legal advice. AI can also guide families through the legal framework of dowry laws in their country, helping both parties understand their rights and responsibilities.
- Natural Language Processing (NLP): NLP techniques can be used to detect signs of emotional or psychological manipulation in dowry negotiations by analyzing conversations for patterns indicative of coercion or force.
Detection of Abuse
- Sentiment Analysis: AI algorithms can analyze text messages, emails, or voice conversations for signs of abuse or threats related to dowry demands.
- Facial Recognition & Emotion Detection: Humanoid robots and AI systems can detect distress in facial expressions or vocal tones and send alerts or involve human intervention when necessary.
Financial Monitoring
- Blockchain and AI for transparency: Blockchain technology, when paired with AI, can be used to monitor and trace dowry transactions, ensuring that there is no financial exploitation. Smart contracts could ensure that dowry agreements are honored transparently and fairly, with automatic resolutions in case of non-compliance.
Legal Framework Integration
- AI Legal Assistants: These can help families understand the legal implications of dowry-related conflicts, offering legal guidance and helping prevent misuse of dowry demands in situations where they are illegal.
- Machine Learning Models for Law Enforcement: By integrating AI into law enforcement systems, authorities can be alerted to dowry-related violence cases more quickly, speeding up the legal process and reducing the time it takes to address these issues.
Humanoid Robotics Team Deployment
Robotic Mediators: Humanoid robots equipped with NLP and emotion recognition can serve as neutral parties in dowry disputes. These robots could facilitate communication between families, reducing emotional outbursts and helping find peaceful resolutions.
- Example: Robots like Pepper (developed by Softbank Robotics) could be programmed to understand human emotions, mediate between individuals, and offer advice based on legal and ethical guidelines.
AI-Enhanced Humanoid Lawyers: Humanoid robots with AI-powered assistants could guide families through dowry negotiations, provide information on legal precedents, and even assist in drafting documents.
- Example: Sophia, a humanoid robot, can serve as an AI-based legal adviser, capable of answering questions related to dowry laws, offering fair advice, and encouraging equitable resolutions.
Neural Networks and LLMs in Action
- Neural Networks for Predictive Analysis: Using deep learning models, AI could predict dowry-related disputes before they escalate into violence, enabling early intervention.
- Large Language Models (LLMs): These models can be used to provide personalized advice, translate complex legal information into simpler language, and even detect possible manipulation or threats in conversations.
3. Achieving Peace and Harmony with Minimal Investment and Maximum Effort
AI and robotics offer cost-effective, scalable solutions to dowry-related issues. By reducing the need for human intermediaries (such as lawyers, mediators, or authorities), they can lower costs while improving efficiency. In this way, families could engage in conflict resolution more easily, without resorting to lengthy and expensive legal processes. Here’s how:
- Automated Dispute Resolution: Using AI-powered systems to handle minor disputes can save time, effort, and resources while allowing human involvement only when needed.
- Access to Resources: AI tools can provide access to legal resources and counseling remotely, enabling people in rural or remote areas to receive help without traveling long distances or incurring high costs.
Conclusion
To address the misuse of dowry laws, AI and humanoid robotics can be transformative tools. By leveraging AI’s capabilities in mediation, detection of abuse, financial monitoring, and legal assistance, we can create a more secure, efficient, and equitable framework to resolve dowry-related issues. Humanoid robots, equipped with advanced AI, can foster peaceful communication between families, reducing emotional conflicts and promoting long-lasting relationships. These technologies, when integrated properly, can reduce time and financial investment in resolving dowry conflicts and support families in finding peaceful solutions.
------------------------------
Some sources say that dowry is a payment made by the bride's family to the groom or his family upon marriage, while others say it is a payment made by the groom's family to the bride or her family. Dowry is a complex issue with a long history, and its meaning and practice vary significantly across cultures and time periods. It can be a source of conflict and exploitation, but it can also be a symbol of respect and generosity. There are many different perspectives on dowry, and it is important to be aware of these different viewpoints before forming an opinion on the matter.
AI automated techniques could be used to streamline the process of calculating and exchanging dowry, reducing the potential for disputes and delays. This could involve using AI-powered chatbots to negotiate terms, smart contracts to automate payments, and blockchain technology to ensure transparency and security. However, it is important to note that AI cannot replace the human element of marriage and family relationships. AI should be used to support and enhance these relationships, not to replace them.
Several AI humanoid robotics teams are working on developing AI-powered solutions for family disputes, including those related to dowry. These teams are using a variety of neural networks and LLMs to develop AI systems that can understand and respond to human emotions, negotiate complex agreements, and provide unbiased advice. It is still early days for this technology, but it has the potential to revolutionize the way we resolve family disputes.
It is important to note that the use of AI in this context raises a number of ethical and legal considerations. It is crucial to ensure that AI systems are used responsibly and ethically, and that they do not perpetuate harmful stereotypes or biases. It is also important to ensure that AI systems are transparent and accountable, so that users understand how they work and can challenge their decisions if necessary.
Overall, AI has the potential to play a significant role in resolving dowry disputes and promoting peace and harmony within families. However, it is important to approach this issue with caution and ensure that AI is used responsibly and ethically.
