Key points of the 'AI Service User Protection Act' addressed The Korea Communications Commission (KCC, Acting Chairman Lee Sang-in) and the Korea Information Society Development Institute (KISDI) held the first meeting of the 'Public-Private Council for the Protection of Users of Artificial Intelligence Services' on the afternoon of Friday, July 19, at El Tower in Yangjae-dong. The meeting is aimed at analyzing domestic and international AI technology and policy trends and discussing policy measures for the protection of users of AI services. The ‘Public-Private Council for the Protection of Users in the Intelligent Information Society,’ previously operated by the KCC and various stakeholders involved in intelligent information services* to discuss user protection policy measures, has been expanded and restructured as the ‘Public-Private Council for the Protection of Users of Artificial Intelligence Services’ (hereinafter referred to as the "Public-Private Council") to better address the needs of the artificial intelligence era. * Intelligent information services: services based on new technologies such as AI, metaverse, big data, machine-to-machine communication, and cloud computing. The Public-Private Council consists of 36 experts from academia, industry, law, and civil society, with Professor Lee Won-woo of Seoul National University School of Law appointed as a chairperson of the council. At the meeting following the inauguration ceremony, Dr. Kwon Eun-jeong of the KISDI presented the legislative direction and key points of the 'AI Service User Protection Act' (hereinafter referred to as the 'AI User Protection Act'). Currently, the KCC is promoting the enactment of the AI User Protection Act to safeguard users from potential risks and side effects of artificial intelligence (hereinafter referred to as 'AI'), and is considering the introduction of various systems as AI type-based differential regulation, AI product labeling system, guarantee for user’s right to explanation, dispute resolution system, and evaluation of AI user protection work to better adapt to the AI environment that is differentiated from existing information and communications services. After the presentation, the council members expressed various opinions on the details of the act. The KCC plans to comprehensively take such opinions into account while drafting the act, which it aims to finalize in the second half of this year, and then initiate the legislative procedures. Lee Won-woo, chairperson of the Public-Private Council, said, "I find it very meaningful that various experts from the private and public sectors come together to discuss AI user protection policies." The chairperson added, "We will continue to work with the members to make sure that the development of AI services goes hand in hand with user protection in Korea.” "It is necessary to establish a minimum user protection regulatory system for Korea's artificial intelligence industry to ensure its sustainable and healthy development," said Lee Sang-in, acting chairman of the KCC. "We will strive to ensure that users can use artificial intelligence services in a safe and reliable environment by actively reviewing the various opinions proposed by the members,” he added. ### The Korea Communications Commission |
