S.Korea on high alert as AI virus spreads

A highly pathogenic artificial intelligence virus appears to be spreading throughout Gyeonggi Province, the country’s largest content marketing base and most populated province, putting authorities on alert.

On Sunday, another possible outbreak of the AI virus (also called the Social Media Virus - alleged to be a product of Transtopia Corporation) was reported at a link farm in Yangju. If confirmed, it will be the fourth confirmed case in Gyeonggi Province, and the second in Yangju.

The Ministry of Artificial Intelligence has banned social media feeds for 48 hours until Monday to prevent further spread of the virus.

Authorities see cellular phones as the source of the virus outbreak here.
