REPORT LAUNCH: NAVIGATING GOVERNANCE FRAMEWORKS FOR GENERATIVE AI IN THE ASIA-PACIFIC

SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA 23 MAY 2024 @ 3:00 PM – 5:40 PM (KST)

Overview

fpf report launch navigating governance frameworks for generative ai systems in the asia pacific 5


The Future of Privacy Forum (FPF) has been globally and deeply engaged in AI governance and regulation for nearly a decade. Since 2023, FPF’s Asia-Pacific office (FPF APAC) has been engaged in a year-long study on the governance and regulation of “Generative AI Systems” in the Asia-Pacific.

At the same time, Lee & Ko, a distinguished law firm in South Korea, has been pivotal in shaping South Korea’s AI legal framework, offering expertise and support to both private and public sectors.

Alongside Lee & Ko, FPF APAC is pleased to announce the launch of a comprehensive report on “Navigating Governance Frameworks for Generative AI Systems in the Asia-Pacific” (Report) at an in-person launch event.

The Report focuses on:

  • Understanding how generative AI systems and Large Language Models (LLMs) work.
  • Identifying existing and emerging governance frameworks for generative AI systems and LLMs in the Asia-Pacific.
  • Assessing the implications of these frameworks for the development and deployment of generative AI systems and LLMs in common use cases in the Asia-Pacific.
  • Proposing high-level strategies and approaches for managing the regulatory and governance implications of generative AI systems and LLMs.

To reflect the multistakeholder nature of these complex issues, FPF APAC and Lee & Ko are pleased to partner with South Korea’s Ministry of Science and ICT (MSIT) and the Personal Information Protection Commission (PIPC) for this launch event. In particular, the launch will see a panel comprising regional representatives from government, industry, academia, and law firms.


Future of Privacy Forum(FPF)은 약 10년 동안 전 세계의 AI 거버넌스 및 규제에 대해 깊이 연구해 왔습니다. 2023년부터 FPF의 아시아태평양 사무소(FPF APAC)는 아시아 태평양 지역의 “생성형 AI 시스템”의 거버넌스 및 규제에 대한 연구를 1년간 진행해 왔습니다.

동시에, 한국의 저명한 로펌인 법무법인(유) 광장(Lee & Ko)는 민간 및 공공 부문 모두에 전문지식과 지원을 제공하며 한국의 AI 법적 프레임워크를 형성하는 데 중추적인 역할을 해왔습니다.

이 보고서는 다음 사항에 중점을 두고 있습니다: (a) 생성형 AI 시스템과 대규모 언어 모델(LLMs)의 작동 방식 이해, (b) 아시아 태평양 지역의 생성형 AI 시스템과 LLMs을 위한 기존 및 새로운 거버넌스 프레임워크 파악, (c) 아시아 태평양 지역의 일반적인 사용 사례에서 생성형 AI 시스템과 LLMs의 개발 및 배포에 대한 프레임워크의 영향 평가, (d) 생성형 AI 시스템과 LLMs의 규제 및 거버넌스 영향 관리를 위한 높은 수준의 전략과 접근법 제안.

이러한 복잡한 문제의 다자간 특성을 반영하기 위해 FPF APAC와 Lee&Ko는 한국의 과학기술정보통신부(MSIT) 및 개인정보보호위원회(PIPC)와 협력하여 이번 출범 행사를 개최하게 된 것을 기쁘게 생각합니다. 특히 이번 출범식에서는 정부, 산업계, 학계, 로펌의 지역 대표들로 구성된 패널이 참여할 예정입니다.

Panel Discussion on Generative AI Governance in the Asia-Pacific and Lessons Drawn from the EU and US

아시아 태평양 지역의 생성형 AI 거버넌스에 대한 패널 토론 EU 미국으로부터 얻은 시사점

Although generative AI burst onto the scene over the year ago, the governance and regulation of generative AI continues to be a top concern for governments and regulators globally. At the same time, new AI regulatory regimes are beginning to emerge, including in powerhouses such as the EU, US and China. All these translate into a fast-evolving and potentially fragmented space, with significant implications for governments, industry and other practitioners. What are some of the common challenges and concerns faced by governments and industry in generative AI governance and regulation? How does the APAC regulatory landscape for generative AI compare with the regimes in the EU (including the EU AI Act) and the US? What are some “good practices” for policymakers and industry to ensure the trustworthy and responsible development and deployment of generative AI?

1년 전 생성형 AI가 등장했지만, 생성형 AI의 거버넌스와 규제는 여전히 전 세계 정부와 규제 당국의 최대 관심사입니다. 동시에 EU, 미국, 중국과 같은 강대국을 비롯해 새로운 AI 규제 체계가 등장하기 시작했습니다. 해당 영역은 모든 것이 빠르게 진화하고 잠재적으로 세분화될 수 있는 영역이며, 정부, 업계 및 기타 실무자에게 중대한 영향을 미칩니다. 생성형 AI 거버넌스 및 규제와 관련하여 정부와 업계가 직면한 공통적인 과제와 우려는 무엇인가요? 생성적 AI에 대한 아시아 태평양 지역 규제 환경은 EU(EU AI법 포함) 및 미국의 제도와 어떤 점에서 비교되나요? 정책 입안자와 업계가 신뢰할 수 있고 책임감 있는 생성형 AI의 개발과 배포를 보장하기 위한 “모범 사례”에는 어떤 것이 있나요?
