AI Policy Accelerates Search for Balance Between Innovation and Regulation
AI Regulation Discussions and South Korea's Response
Amid accelerating global discussions on artificial intelligence (AI) technology regulation, South Korea is also intensifying efforts to establish policies for the sound development of its AI industry and to secure public trust. Leading nations are primarily focusing on strengthening supervision of high-risk AI systems and establishing principles for ethical use.
Global Trends and Domestic Policy Direction
The European Union (EU), through its AI Act enacted in the second half of 2025, set a global standard by clearly defining differentiated regulations based on AI system risk levels. This is analyzed to have a significant impact on South Korea's AI policy direction. Domestically, discussions are actively underway for the enactment of a 'tentative AI Framework Act,' which aims to provide comprehensive guidelines on ethical issues, data bias, and user rights protection that may arise during AI development and utilization.
