As the production of content using generative artificial intelligence (AI) surges, a policy discussion focused on copyright disputes and rights allocation for AI-generated works will be held at South Korea's National Assembly on the 23rd. This event is organized by Jin Jong-oh, a member of the National Assembly's Culture, Sports, and Tourism Committee, in collaboration with the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Creative Content Agency. The rise of AI technology has increased efficiency and accessibility within various content sectors such as gaming, video, music, and webtoons, but it has also raised significant legal issues regarding the ownership of AI creations, the recognition of human creative contributions, and the scope of data usage for training AI.

Despite the enforcement of the 'Fundamental Law on the Development of Artificial Intelligence' since January, which aims to foster trust and development in AI, there is a recognized lack of discussions that reflect the unique characteristics of the content industry. The upcoming discussion will include presentations from industry experts that highlight both the innovations brought by AI technology in the content sector and the necessary legal adjustments to support the nurturing of South Korea's AI industry. Notably, stakeholders from various sectors will participate in a comprehensive discussion led by Professor Lee Joon-ho, emphasizing the collective need for legislative improvements that can protect creators' rights and enhance industry competitiveness amidst the evolving landscape influenced by AI technology.
