Taepyungyang stated, "With the AI Framework Act coming into effect on January 22, new legal and institutional standards covering the entire process of AI development and utilization will be applied across companies and industries."

Taepyungyang added, "The implementation of the AI Framework Act is expected to be a turning point that goes beyond the introduction of simple regulations, requiring a fundamental overhaul of corporate AI strategies, governance, and risk management systems. In particular, increased obligations for AI operation and management, enhanced requirements for transparency and accountability, and the establishment of proactive response systems for high-risk AI are expected to have a direct impact on overall corporate management and technology development strategies."

Taepyungyang continued, "At this seminar, we will comprehensively review the main contents and legal issues of the AI Framework Act and provide practical response strategies for companies from a practical perspective. We hope this will be a meaningful forum for discussing sustainable growth strategies for companies in the new regulatory environment created by the implementation of the AI Framework Act."

Participation in the seminar is free of charge, and the registration deadline is January 30.
