ETRI Leads Establishment of Global AI Testing Standard
South Korean Researchers Lead AI International Standard
A Korean research team has successfully established a key international standard for verifying the safety and reliability of artificial intelligence (AI) systems. This achievement is the result of over five years of effort, signifying that South Korea is now leading not only AI technology but also AI norms and reliability verification standards.
ETRI Establishes 'Overview of AI System Testing' Standard
The Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI) announced that the 'Overview of AI System Testing' standard, which defines procedures and methodologies for testing AI systems, was officially established by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO/IEC JTC1) on November 3, 2025. This accomplishment is highly significant as it is the first key AI testing standard led and established by South Korea within the ISO/IEC Artificial Intelligence Technical Committee (SC 42). This achievement demonstrates ETRI's position as a 'First Mover' beyond a 'Fast Follower' in the global AI technology competition.
