South Korea passes AI safety law

South Korea became the first country to adopt a comprehensive law regulating the safe use of artificial intelligence. The law establishes standards for the development and deployment of AI systems, monitors their impact on society and human rights, and creates a supervisory body to ensure compliance with the rules. Experts note that this regulation could serve as a model for other countries in developing international standards for new technologies.

Against the backdrop of growing interest from international governments in regulating artificial intelligence, legislative initiatives have already emerged in the US, the EU, and China.
