[Financial News] The government is looking to the private sector for artificial intelligence models that can be used in real administrative tasks, including analyzing traffic accident footage and detecting voice phishing with deepvoice technology.
The Ministry of the Interior and Safety (MOIS) said on the 25th that it will hold the '2026 AI-based Issue-Solving Analysis Model Development Contest' starting on the 26th.
The goal is to identify models that can solve problems closely tied to daily life by combining private-sector AI technology and ideas with public services.
This year's contest features three current issues in the areas of public safety and fair administration.
The first is a task proposed by the National Forensic Service: 'Developing a model to analyze vehicle behavior in traffic accidents based on black box footage.' The model will use AI to analyze vehicle movements and key moments before and after an accident in dashcam footage, helping forensic examiners with engineering review.
The aim is to improve the speed and consistency of traffic accident assessments by providing examiners with the main analysis items from accident footage in the form of objective parameters.
The second task is 'Developing an AI deepvoice detection model to respond to new voice phishing crimes.' As generative AI advances, deepvoice technology that closely mimics a real person's voice is increasingly likely to be misused for voice phishing and voice impersonation crimes. The project will develop a high-performance detection model that can distinguish between real and AI-generated voices.
The third is a task from the Public Procurement Service: 'Developing an AI-based monitoring model for bidding by contracting authorities.' The model will analyze bid notices and attached documents to automatically determine whether they may violate the Act on Contracts to Which the State Is a Party or the Act on Contracts to Which a Local Government Is a Party, and it will also present the basis for its judgment. Participation in the contest will take place through the private AI competition platform DACON, and participants may submit AI models developed for each task from Aug. 26 to Sept. 29.
Final results are scheduled to be announced on Oct. 16. Across the three contests, a total of 21 teams will be selected, with 126 million won in total prize money. The grand prize-winning team will also receive the Minister of the Interior and Safety Award.
