It is reported that the Korea Creative Content Agency, under the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, has commenced a research project on the establishment of the “AI-based Content Industry Promotion Act (tentative)”. The agency plans to conduct research analyzing related laws and exploring directions for the enactment and revision until the end of August 2025, and the ministry is expected to review legislation as early as this year. Through this research project, the agency will investigate trends in domestic and international laws and systems related to AI and content; analyze the positive and negative impacts of AI content; review key issues such as copyright protection measures and ethical responsibilities; and propose revisions to existing laws that may conflict with the new legislation. The project is in response to increasing examples of AI utilization across all content sectors, such as webtoons, music, and broadcasting, which has raised urgent calls for the refinement of laws and systems related to regulation, copyright, and ethics.
