Taepyungyang stated, “With the AI Framework Act coming into force on the 22nd, new legal and institutional standards covering the entire process of AI development and utilization will now apply to companies and industries as a whole.”

Taepyungyang further noted, “The implementation of the AI Framework Act is expected to be a turning point that goes beyond the mere introduction of regulations, requiring companies to fundamentally overhaul their AI strategies, governance, and risk management systems. In particular, the increased burden of operational and management obligations for AI, the strengthening of transparency and accountability requirements, 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 added, “This seminar will provide a comprehensive review of the main contents and legal issues of the AI Framework Act and present practical response strategies for companies from a hands-on perspective. We hope this will serve as a meaningful forum for discussing sustainable growth strategies for companies in the new regulatory environment created by the implementation of the AI Framework Act.”

The seminar is free to attend, and the registration deadline is January 30.

Meanwhile, Taepyungyang recorded sales of 440.2 billion won last year (based on National Tax Service filings), ranking second after Kim & Chang Law Firm.
