Motif Technologies formally objected to its exclusion from South Korea's homegrown AI foundation model project despite topping global AI benchmark scores, demanding transparency on scoring and evaluation criteria. The government will review the objection before finalising the next evaluation stage, while Motif plans to prove its capabilities independently.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of AI Frontier Models.

◆ The Wire takeaway

South Korea's AI project evaluation reveals that criteria beyond technical benchmarks can exclude top scorers. If you build AI models there, demand clear evaluation metrics now to avoid hidden biases.
