AhnLab said on the 22nd that it invited attorney Kim Kyung-yeon of KIM&CHANG on the 19th and held a special ESG lecture for executives and employees on the theme of "Fair Trade Act issues and risks in the age of artificial intelligence (AI)."
The special lecture was prepared to proactively recognize fair trade–related risks that may arise amid a changing market environment driven by the spread of AI technology and to share corporations' prevention and response strategies. Attorney Kim Kyung-yeon of KIM&CHANG, who gave the lecture, introduced domestic and international regulatory trends related to the transaction and competitive environment of the AI market, and, while explaining major potential fair trade violations in the AI market—such as ▲ AI washing ▲ algorithmic collusion ▲ monopolies using partnerships—emphasized the need for corporations to manage risks.
Including this special lecture, AhnLab conducted a total of six ESG training sessions in 2025 on themes such as the environment, human rights, and fair trade. AhnLab plans to continue related training and activities to raise executives' and employees' overall awareness of ESG and to practice responsible management.
Lee Jin-gyun, Head of Team of AhnLab's compliance management team, said, "As the use of AI rapidly expands across operations, understanding the legal and ethical standards surrounding the technology is becoming as important as leveraging the technology itself," and added, "We hope this special lecture helps raise employees' compliance awareness related to AI and aids the spread of a proper culture of AI use within the company."
