South Korea Includes 4 ICT Services Such as AI Voice Fraud Detection in Regulatory Sandbox Exceptions

According to Yonhap News, the Ministry of Science and ICT announced that, following written deliberation by the Second ICT Regulatory Sandbox Fast-Track Expert Committee, it approved four services for empirical special exception qualifications. Among them, the "Voiceprint Recognition Mobile Voice Fraud Detection Service" jointly applied for by Samsung Electronics and the National Forensic Service received the most attention — this service embeds an AI-trained voice fraud recognition model into mobile apps, capable of reminding users in real-time of suspected fraudulent calls; previously, as fraudsters' voiceprints were classified as personal information and could not be used without the consent of the concerned party, this special exception breaks this restriction.
