Strengthening Digital Asset Exchange and Voice Phishing Countermeasures
Recently, the Telecommunications Fraud Damage Refund Act amendment passed by the National Assembly imposes voice phishing monitoring obligations on digital asset exchanges and expands the scope of damage relief from monetary assets to digital assets. Digital asset exchanges must continuously monitor suspicious transactions and immediately suspend payments if criminal activity is suspected.
This amendment allows victims to receive relief even if digital assets are stolen or cash is converted into digital assets. Additionally, suspicious transaction information can be shared on the Anti-Scam Analysis Platform (ASAP) to quickly block criminal fund flows.
AI Data Center Competition and Semiconductor Market Changes
NVIDIA has officially entered the AI data center CPU market by launching the ARM-based CPU ‘Vera,’ moving beyond GPU dominance. Intel has strengthened its partnership with NVIDIA and adopted a strategy of supplying its Xeon processors, while AMD has declared a direct challenge by emphasizing its x86 CPU capabilities.
As the AI market shifts its focus from training to inference, the role of CPUs is becoming increasingly important. Along with this, the expansion of the AI data center market is expected to put upward pressure on prices for consumer PC components.
AWS Unicorn Day and Domestic AI Startup Trends
At AWS Unicorn Day 2026, domestic AI startups focusing on fabless, platforms, model supply, and applications were introduced. Notably, fabless companies such as FuriosaAI and Rebellion have drawn attention.
AWS supports the use of AI agents and helps startups efficiently develop and rapidly validate through its AI-Driven Development Lifecycle (AI DLC) program. Various support programs for startups’ global expansion are also in operation.
Security Threats and Response Status
Microsoft addressed 84 security vulnerabilities in its March security patch, including zero-click attack vulnerabilities. Vulnerabilities related to AI agent Copilot drew particular attention, making security enhancement an essential task.
Additionally, various security issues have emerged, such as personal information leaks, development of deepfake detection technology, and increased smishing exploiting Middle East conflicts. In response, governments and companies are strengthening security patches, developing AI deepfake detection models, and raising user awareness.
Expansion of K-Design and AI-Based Innovation
The domestic design field is expanding beyond traditional hardware to AI and software-based solutions. At the iF Design Award 2026, Infopla’s AI automation platform ‘Cellto’ won the main prize, internationally recognized for its human-centered intuitive UI and real-time anomaly detection features.
This achievement shows that not only technological capability but also user experience and design innovation are core to global competitiveness. AI-integrated design and services are expected to play significant roles across industries in the future.
