Republic of Korea: Communications Commission's Guidelines for the Protection of Users of Generative Artificial Intelligence Services including non-discrimination requirement enter into force

On 28 March 2025, the Communications Commission's Guidelines for the Protection of Users of Generative Artificial Intelligence Services enter into force. The guideline clarifies that to promote diversity, developers should reduce bias in algorithms and data collection, establish standards for unbiased outputs, and implement filtering functions to prevent discriminatory use. Additionally, intuitive reporting methods for biased content should be provided to users. The guideline specifies that this is necessary because generative AI, unlike traditional search engines, produces a single content piece based on user input, which can reinforce social biases and ethical issues if not diverse.
