  The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) announced on June 28th the publication of the "Guide to the Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Drug Development," which presents considerations for the application of AI technology from both technical and ethical perspectives, in response to the increasing use of AI in drug development. This guide specifically outlines the potential applications of AI in various stages of drug development, including candidate discovery, non-clinical trials, and clinical trials. It also provides guidance on considerations to be taken into account when using AI. Notably, the use of AI in drug development can improve time, cost, and efficiency, as well as enable the safe and effective design of non-clinical trials and clinical trials. However, since AI inherently predicts results based on data, ensuring the quality and reliability of the data is critically important. The MFDS expects that this guide will help in understanding drug development usi

2024 Korea-US Standards Cooperation Forum Held   On June 28th, the Korean Agency for Technology and Standards (KATS) hosted the "2024 Korea-US Standards Cooperation Forum" in Washington D.C. The event was attended by approximately 70 experts from both countries, including the head of KATS, the president of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), representatives from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Intel, IBM, and others.   At the forum, discussions expanded beyond the existing collaboration areas of semiconductors, artificial intelligence (AI), future mobility, quantum technology, and carbon neutrality/clean energy to include the emerging field of 'digital identity' in blockchain technology. The participants delved into the direction of joint standard development between the two countries. As a result, they agreed to propose five new international standards in the areas of semiconductors, quantum technology, and solar cells
