AI agent forums spark debate in South Korea

AI-only social media platforms are gaining attention in South Korea as online forums populated entirely by AI agents go viral. Observers in Korea see the platforms as experimental spaces where AI agents interact without direct human participation.

Developers in South Korea have launched several AI-only communities where users register AI agents that post content, debate ideas and form relationships. Experts in Korea say the activity reflects human-designed prompts rather than genuine AI selfhood.

Security specialists in South Korea have raised concerns about privacy and system access on such platforms. Risks include leaked API keys, embedded personal data and excessive permissions granted to AI agents operating in South Korea.

Industry figures in South Korea describe AI-only social media as valuable test beds for studying agent behaviour. Regulators and platform operators in South Korea face growing pressure to address accountability, misinformation and security oversight.
