The Ministry of the Interior and Safety, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, and the Broadcasting and Media Communications Commission will sign a "Business Agreement for Technical Cooperation in Response to Deepfake Sexual Crimes" at the Government Seoul Office Building on June 25.

Through this agreement, the Ministry of the Interior and Safety will share the "AI Deepfake Detection and Analysis Model," which it developed in collaboration with the National Forensic Service, with related agencies. By applying this model to the process of responding to victim-related videos, the government expects to improve both the speed and accuracy of its response to deepfake sexual crimes.

When victim-related videos or suspicious content are received in the future, a primary detection and analysis will be conducted, and the results will be quickly linked to deletion, blocking, and victim support procedures for a prompt response.

The Ministry of Gender Equality and Family will utilize this new model alongside its existing private-sector deepfake detection models to conduct more thorough analysis and removal of victim-related videos and suspicious content. The ministry will also establish and operate work standards for handling victim-related videos and ensuring security, aiming to protect victims and prevent secondary harm.

The Broadcasting and Media Communications Commission will respond to the online distribution of content suspected of being deepfake sexual crimes and strengthen its cooperation system with platform operators for deletion and blocking.

Each agency will prioritize the protection of personal information and victims' rights during the processing of victim-related videos, and will further strengthen security management standards, including restricting unnecessary duplication, sharing, and storage.
