LG Artificial Intelligence (AI) Research Institute published an AI ethics accountability report on the 19th. The report includes LG's efforts to realize "Responsible AI" and "Inclusive AI."
Since 2023, LG AI Research Institute has published an AI ethics accountability report every year. The report includes case studies of AI ethics practices at major LG affiliates such as LG Electronics and LG Uplus, emphasizing efforts to spread AI ethics practices across affiliates. In addition, LG is the only one among corporations worldwide to disclose annually the status of implementing UNESCO's AI ethics recommendations.
Lee Hong-rak, co-president of LG AI Research Institute, said, "Rather than responding passively to ever-changing regulations such as the enforcement of the Basic AI Act, LG aims to proactively build safety and trust in technology so customers and society can feel secure and everyone can enjoy the benefits of AI, which is the essential value LG seeks to pursue with AI."
Lim Woo-hyung, co-president of LG AI Research Institute, said, "LG AI Research Institute will work to ensure the benefits of technological innovation do not concentrate only on a few and to help AI earn society's trust," adding, "We will continue to prove the value of trust that does not change even in an era of uncertainty."
In 2022, LG announced the "LG AI ethics principles," which set the right behaviors and value judgments that all LG members developing and using AI must follow. The LG AI ethics principles present standards for creating AI technologies that make customers' lives more valuable, with five core values: respect for humanity, fairness, safety, accountability, and transparency.
Going beyond simple risk management, LG has made compliance management that meets international standards a core pillar of its survival strategy for corporations and is strengthening competitiveness through the development of trustworthy technologies.
Koo Kwang-mo, chairman of LG Group, said, "A shift in perception is needed to view compliance as core infrastructure for a corporation's growth and development, and no LG member can be an exception to this shift," adding, "LG has made special efforts to ensure compliance takes deep root from top management to the front lines of business, and we will continue to advance LG's compliance system so it reflects changes in the times and society in a timely manner."
