인공지능 규제 정책에 관한 연구: 주요국의 규제 정책 사례를 중심으로

초록

It is widely accepted that regulation plays a pivotal role in the development of artificial intelligence (AI). Amid the rise of AI, the Korean government is keen to streamline, improve or even realign the existing regulation in order to facilitate its development and deployment. This task, however, requires careful considerations of various aspects at stake and thus needs to be supported by different perspectives and studies. In that context, this article examines various regulatory approaches to AI in technologically advanced countries, with the aim to contribute to Korea's AI regulatory policy. Specifically, this article examines AI regulatory strategies in the US, China, the UK, the EU and Japan. The US and China are the two giants in terms of the proliferation of AI technology. The UK strives creatively to improve the regulatory environment in order to promote both innovation and technology. The EU has been systematically responding to the challenges that AI brings. Lastly, Japan is situated similarly to Korea in terms of developing AI. This article analyzes the characteristics of the AI　regulatory policies in each of the countries in terms of the level of technological development and the level of institutionalization of the regulatory policies. Common denominators are identified. The article concludes with recommendations for Korea's AI regulatory policies and strategies.
