Moon Kwang-jin, a deputy research fellow at KISDI, will give a presentation on the topic of ‘Governance for Trustable AI’ and talk about the findings of a study on setting up governance for managing and responding to the entire cycle of the AI ecosystem in a comprehensive and systematic manner.

Kwon Eun-jeong, a deputy research fellow at KISDI, will give a presentation on the topic of ‘System and Method of Evaluating the Impact of AI Services’ in which she will talk about a system for evaluating the impact of AI services for the purpose of guaranteeing their reliability and managing the associated risks. She will also describe ways of institutionalizing the system and the results of a study done on the methods of evaluation.

In the final debate session, Director Moon Jung-wook, the Director of KISDI’s Center for AI and Social Policy, will preside over the debate on ‘Policy Directions and Agenda for Creating a Trustworthy AI Society’. Professor Seong Yong-joon (Psychology) of Korea University, Professor Yoon Hye-sun (Law) of Hanyang University, Professor Seon Ji-won of Kwangwoon University (Law), Senior Manager Lee Hee-ok (Law) of NAVER, and Senior Researcher Bang Joon-sung (Engineering) of ETRI will participate as members of the debate panel.
