KIM&CHANG will hold a seminar titled "Trends in artificial intelligence (AI) and information security regulation and response strategies" on the 25th at the Crescendo Building in Jongno-gu, Seoul, in partnership with Korea University Data and AI Law Center and the Korea Information & Communication Law Association's Information Security Forum.
According to KIM&CHANG on the 24th, the seminar will feature analysis of the Basic Act on AI and information security regulations and a discussion of implications.
The Basic Act on AI is a comprehensive AI promotion and regulation law that took effect on Jan. 22 this year. Following the European Union (EU), it was enacted as the second such law in the world. It specifies several compliance obligations, including: ▲ an obligation to identify high-impact AI ▲ an obligation to implement measures to ensure safety and trustworthiness for high-impact AI ▲ an obligation for Generative AI to notify users in advance that it operates based on AI and to indicate the fact of generation. How Korea's AI policy and industry apply and comply with the Basic Act on AI is the industry's biggest concern.
The seminar will cover three subtopics in total. First, Shim Ji-seop, an attorney from the Ministry of Science and ICT's Safety and Trust Policy Division, will present on the overall Basic Act on AI under the theme "Analysis of key issues following the enforcement of the Basic Act on AI and future tasks."
Ma Kyung-tae, an attorney at KIM&CHANG, will give a presentation on the theme "Issues following the enforcement of the Basic Act on AI and response strategies for corporations."
Next, Yoon A-ri, an attorney at KIM&CHANG, will present on the theme "Recent trends in information protection regulations and response strategies for corporations," introducing regulatory trends under the Personal Information Protection Act and the Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection following recent hacking and personal data breach incidents.
After the lead presentations, a panel discussion will be held, chaired by Lee Sung-yeop, a professor at Korea University Graduate School of Management of Technology (president of the Korea Information & Communication Law Association), with participation from ▲ Kim Hyung-jong, a professor at Seoul Women's University ▲ Ryu Yong, head of the Infrastructure Strategy Center at the Korea Telecommunications Operators Association ▲ Park Sung-sik, deputy CEO of Nol Universe Co ▲ Bang Sung-hyun, an attorney at KIM&CHANG ▲ Yoon Hye-seon, a professor at Hanyang University School of Law. The session will examine the impact of the Basic Act on AI's enforcement and the strengthening of information security regulations, as well as future tasks.
Professor Lee Sung-yeop said, "This seminar will discuss on-site application plans based on the guidelines and Q&A materials prepared by the authorities, and it will serve as a venue to prepare for the new information security regulatory environment following recent security incidents."
