Growth in Use of Pseudonymized Information in Korea

Last week, Korea’s Personal Information Protection Commission (PIPC) held its second contest on the uses and application of pseudonymized information. The purpose of this contest is improving the real-life use and performance of pseudonymized information as well as developing best practices and upholding safety standards. Projects included analysis on the effectiveness of treatment for alcoholics and analysis on quality of life indicators for single person households. This marks great progress since Korea implemented its pseudonymized information system 3 years ago. 

Pseudonimization is a process through which information that can indicate the identity of a data subject is replaced by ‘pseudonyms’ which prevents the data from identifying the user. This method also allows re-identification later on if the pseudonyms are replaced by their original identifiers. Since it makes personal data processing easier while also reducing the risk of exposing sensitive data, it is a highly recommended method to protect personal data and approved by leading data protection laws such as the GDPR. 

In Korea, pseudonymization became promoted as a safe method to analyze data with the passing of new laws protecting data privacy, credit information, and telecommunications information. The adoption of pseudonimization has enabled multiple datasets to be combined and analyzed without compromising on privacy, and there are high hopes it will help resolve societal problems such as lifestyle studies for early detection of adult diseases and improving the efficiency of credit evaluation for insurance.

Seeking ChatGPT's Insight: Are the Biden Administration's 'Trump-Proofing' Efforts Legally and Morally Justifiable?

-

  Recently, polls indicate that former President Trump's chances for returning to Presidency have become increasingly likely. Given this, there have been rising attempts over the past year by the Biden administration to "Trump-proof" matters so that if Trump is re-elected, he will be unable to (or at least have difficulty in) reversing or nullifying the current policy and agreements.  I decided to ask ChatGPT on this topic because I was curious on whether these efforts by the Biden administration would be successful in restraining Trump, or even whether such actions were morally and legally viable. My doubts arose because actions taken to completely deny or restrain future Presidents from changing policy or agreements (generally speaking), especially if such measures came from Executive Orders, seem to be against the democratic spirit even if they are meant to protect against possible abuse of presidential power.  My question to ChatGPT: Do you believe that the Biden admi

ChatGPT's Age-related Slogans for Biden, Trump, and Desantis.

          Looking at the upcoming US presidential elections, two of the three (as of now) nominees seem to face questions over whether they are 'too old' to run. At 80 years old, Biden is the oldest president to serve, with Trump similarly advanced in years at 76. Compared to them, DeSantis at 44 years old is far younger. Given this potential point of debate, I asked ChatGPT 4 to theorize how these presidential candidates might defend their positions or attack their opponents on the topic of age, as well as to generate possible political slogans they could use relating to this. Here is the political strategies ChatGPT suggested, as well as some creative slogans it came up with. Keep in mind, the entire following article and slogans were generated by ChatGPT, with no edits by myself aside from the initial prompting and guiding (through more prompts) to arrive at this result.  ChatGPT 4.0:  Title: Age as a Tool: Politicking in the Prime of Life and Beyond           In today's

Unraveling the WGA’s MBA with ChatGPT: Expert Analysis or Algorithmic Bias Towards Legalese?

-

On Oct 9, the Writers Guild of America (WGA) overwhelmingly voted in favour of ratifying the 2023 Minimum Basic Agreement (MBA), which will apply until May 1, 2026. While most news outlets have reported on this as a major win for the writers guild, I grew curious on whether there were any shortcomings in the agreement since the the entertainment industry’s capitulation seemed to come quite abruptly compared to their former hardline opposition to any concessions. Since I am not a legal expert on contract law, I turned to ChatGPT instead to see if it could provide a fresh perspective. Given that the WGA provided both the complete 2023 MBA as well as a summary, I chose to try inputting both into ChatGPT, focusing particularly on the Artificial Intelligence clauses. However, the results made me ponder whether ChatGPT’s analysis might be influenced by bias or randomness. ChatGPT’s analysis of the summary and the complete 2023 MBA: Upon analyzing the summary, ChatGPT initially gave off a ske
