title

AI Hacking Defense Competition! KISA presents the world's first.


introduction

Hello! We've all realized how rapidly AI technology is developing these days, right? However, as new technologies develop rapidly, so too do the security issues that arise. 💡 Security issues surrounding artificial intelligence (AI), in particular, are a key topic for companies and governments around the world! Surprisingly, on September 28, 2025, the Korea Internet & Security Agency (KISA) will host the world's first competition covering three core areas of AI security! The "2025 Artificial Intelligence Hacking Defense Competition (ACDC)," held in collaboration with the Ministry of Science and ICT and the Korea Information Security Industry Association, is already exciting. Today, we'll take a closer look at the overall information and significance of this competition.


Main text

1. A world first! Covering three key areas of AI security.

What makes this competition special is that it encompasses three key areas of AI security in one single event. Each area is as follows:

  • AI-powered security : This field explores how the latest AI technologies can be used to enhance existing security systems.
  • Ensuring AI Security : Identifying and addressing vulnerabilities in AI algorithms is crucial! This field discusses ways to increase AI reliability.
  • AI Platform Security : This is an exercise that examines how secure the platform itself is when AI is actually applied.

ACDC is the first competition worldwide to include all three of these technologies in a single event. For this reason, domestic and international experts are viewing this event as a new milestone in AI security.

2. "AI for All, Security for All"

The competition's slogan, "AI for All, Security for All," emphasizes that AI technology should be used for the public good, beyond the exclusive use of individuals or specific groups. The key here is openness and collaboration . The ACDC competition will not simply be a competition for technological achievements, but will also serve as a springboard for global cooperation in AI security.

This competition, in particular, is garnering international attention as it is linked to the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) AI Security Competition . This is increasing the likelihood that Korea will establish itself as a leading player in the AI security field.

3. Competition method and schedule

The competition will proceed systematically from the preliminary round to the final round .

  • Preliminary round : This will be held online over two days, October 31st and November 1st, and will showcase technical prowess and creativity.
  • Finals : The top 20 teams will compete in the finals at the COEX Grand Ballroom in Seoul on December 1st. The finals will feature practical challenges, such as simulating AI hacking and building defense models, making them a truly entertaining event to watch.

In particular, this conference will provide an opportunity for both experts and the general public to learn about AI security challenges and opportunities.

4. Strengthening Korea's AI Leadership

AI security cannot be solved simply through technological advancements. It requires the cooperation of various stakeholders. Through this ACDC conference, Korea is using it as an opportunity to strengthen its global leadership in AI security and foster cooperation with other countries.


conclusion

The 2025 Artificial Intelligence (AI) Hacking Defense Competition (ACDC) is an opportunity for Korea to lead AI security technology innovation and global cooperation. This competition, the world's first to encompass all three core areas of AI security, goes beyond mere competition and demonstrates that AI technology must move toward becoming safer and more beneficial to all. If you're interested in AI security, this is a must-attend event! 😊

More information about this event can be found on the official website . Your interest and participation will greatly contribute to the expansion of the AI security ecosystem.

Insurrection Act: 미국 시민이 꼭 알아야 할 발동 조건과 헌법적 제약

Insurrection Act: 미국 시민이 꼭 알아야 할 발동 조건과 헌법적 제약 Insurrection Act은 국내 질서 유지와 반란 진압을 위한 법적 도구로, 평소에는 대부분의 사람에게 잘 와닿지 않는 주제죠. 근데 시사 이슈나 긴급 상황이 터질 때 이 법의 존재는 정말 실용적일 수 있습니다. 이 글은 발동 조건은 무엇인지, 어떤 절차를 거치는지, 그리고 시민으로서 어떤 권리와 대비가 필요한지 솔직하고 친절하게 정리했습니다. 특히 키워드 리서치를 바탕으로 자주 묻는 질문도 함께 다뤄 보니, 당신의 궁금증도 꽤 해소될 겁니다. 자, 시작해볼까요? 이 글의 관점은 미국 시민으로서 정보를 이해하는 데 초점을 맞춥니다. 트렌드나 시사적 이슈를 반영하되, 과도한 해석보다는 법령의 원칙과 판례의 흐름에 근거한 설명을 담으려 애썼습니다. 또한 헌법적 제약과 기본권 보호의 균형이 어떻게 작동하는지, 실제 현장에서 어떤 주의가 필요한지까지 담아 두었습니다. 도표와 비교 표를 곁들여 이해를 돕고, 마지막에는 개인의 대비를 위한 실용 팁도 담았습니다. Insurrection Act의 기본 이해와 역사 Insurrection Act은 1807년 제정된 연방법으로, 대통령이 국내 반란이나 심각한 소요 상황에서 군대를 동원해 질서를 회복할 수 있게 해주는 법적 근거를 제공합니다. 이 법의 목적은 연방 정부가 주의 경찰력이 미치지 못하는 위기 상황에서도 신속하게 대응할 수 있게 하는 데 있습니다. 다만 헌법과(Posse Comitatus Act 같은) 다른 법령과의 관계 속에서 제약도 분명합니다. 역사적으로 남북전쟁 시기, 민권 운동 시기, 대형 도시의 심각한 폭동 등 사회적 충격이 큰 순간에 언급되는 사례들이 많습니다. 하지만 각 사례의 발동 여부는 학계에서 여전히 다양한 해석이 존재합니다. 그래도 분명한 점은 이 법이 “ 최후의 수단”으로 설계되었다는 사실이며, 대통령의 단독 결정만으로 움직이는 것이 아니라 의회·사법부의 견제와 절차적 안전장치가 뒤따른다는 점입니다. 발동의 ...
