Abstract

Artificial intelligence is gradually moving away from the field of research and is being used throughout everyday life, including self-driving, chatbot, biometric recognition, smart home, and medical devices. In addition, the utilization and application of big data is affecting various fields such as society, economy, politics, and law. Already in major advanced countries, discussions have been held to adjust the current legal system for the protection of data protection and privacy in telecommunications, industry, medical and financial sectors, the risk of discrimination by artificial intelligence, the issue of responsibility for artificial intelligence systems, and the establishment of ethical and artificial intelligence policy systems for artificial intelligence. Meanwhile, Germany has developed a high level of artificial intelligence research infrastructure (Infra) in connection with the federal government, state governments, research institutes, industries, and universities, and has developed widely in social, economic, and industrial sectors to make useful use of the benefits and convenience that artificial intelligence technology will bring. On the other hand, the legal system is being reviewed to cope with changes that will occur in various fields such as society, ethics, legal system, and culture due to the emergence of artificial intelligence technology and to prepare for the risks posed by artificial intelligence. First of all, based on the ethics needed in a series of processes such as designing, manufacturing, and utilizing artificial intelligence through technical standardization, and academic dialogue such as social, economic, and cultural sectors, the expansion of convergence on artificial intelligence's social impact, future effects by technology, and discussions on designing artificial intelligence to prevent artificial intelligence from threatening human safety. In order to establish a legal system that can utilize artificial intelligence technology without conflict with existing social values and legal systems, this school intended to provide a forum for discussion on the direction of artificial intelligence policy in Korea, although it is insufficient.
