An article of U.S. Attorney Chang Ha Brian Yoo of LIN’s TMT team was recently published in the Maeil Business Newspaper.

In an article titled "Data Protectionism in the Age of AI," U.S. Attorney Chang Ha Brian Yoo discussed the growing international conflict over data acquisition and control, or "data protectionism," in the age of AI. Former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger has called for an international treaty on AI development and use, similar to the Nuclear Arms Reduction Treaty. Recently, the U.S. passed a bill that could ban TikTok, requiring Bytedance to sell TikTok or face a ban on its service in the U.S., and Japan demanded that Naver sell its messaging platform Line to a Japanese company. These measures reflect the critical importance of data control, which can significantly impact both national security and the success of data economy. Yoo emphasized that major countries are adopting data protectionism to protect their citizens' data and block foreign influence, and suggested that Korea should seek a policy balance in this regard.
