Naver (035420) said it would “review” the National Assembly’s proposal to open source its news service algorithm.

Naver News Executive Director Kim Soo-hyang responded to the proposal by Cho Kuk Innovation Party lawmaker Lee Hae-min at the National Assembly’s Science, Technology, Broadcasting and Communications Committee audit held on the 7th, saying, “It is difficult to give a specific answer at the moment, but we will review your proposal.”

Regarding the fairness issue of the Naver portal news service algorithm, Rep. Lee said, “No matter what measures Naver takes, the controversy over fairness will continue to rise,” and added, “If the news ranking algorithm is transparently disclosed and made open source, we can avoid this controversy.” In addition, it can improve the credibility of the news ecosystem,” he said.

He continued, “It may be very difficult to take the first step, but I think it may be a way to free ourselves from the arrogant controversies that amount to political strife,” and suggested, “I think it could be considered as a mid- to long-term plan.”

Executive Director Kim said, “We need to discuss ways to open source the algorithm with the development team,” and added, “I will go back and review it and tell the legislator.”
