Special Act for AI Personal Data Use Passed by National Assembly Committee

A special act that allows personal information to be used for purposes other than its original collection for the development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology passed a National Assembly standing committee on the 14th. The bill aims to utilize previously collected personal information for AI advancement, and the National Assembly's Political Affairs Committee approved the Personal Information Protection Act amendment in a subcommittee and plenary session that morning.

Ruling Party Raises Concerns Over Personal Data Leakage

While the bill targets AI technology development, concerns have been raised even within the ruling party that safeguards must be put in place to prevent personal information leakage. This reflects the understanding that striking a balance between the necessity of AI development and the protection of personal data is crucial.
