Mostly True
A consortium led by Kookmin University has begun work on two international standards covering the security and privacy of AI agents, according to a press release from the consortium that has been prepared but not yet publicly posted.
The consortium is pursuing the two standards simultaneously, addressing both the security and the privacy dimensions of AI agent technology. The initiative was first signaled through an image published on the website of the Telecommunications Technology Association (TTA), pointing to the standards activity within the national standards framework.
The press release from the Kookmin University consortium remained in a delayed posting state rather than being blocked, and details of the specific standardization bodies, timelines and participating members were not included in the material available.
The effort targets AI agents — systems that autonomously perform tasks on behalf of users — an area where security and privacy safeguards are increasingly debated as deployment accelerates. By taking on two standards at once, the consortium is addressing the technology from both the protection and the data-handling angles.
The review drew on 11 primary sources. The underlying claim — that the Kookmin University consortium has simultaneously commenced work on two international standards for AI agent security and privacy — is assessed as Mostly True.
