It is reported that the National AI Strategy Committee in South Korea has convened a meeting to address escalating copyright concerns between domestic creators and the AI industry, notably the “use first, compensate later” policy and liability exemptions regarding text and data mining (TDM) that have been promoted by the government and the National Assembly. The committee proposed supporting reasonable transactions in sectors with established markets, such as publishing and broadcasting, while allowing third-party use of works without clear trading markets, like online public posts, under lawful access with future revenue-sharing mechanisms.
