Korea Airports Corporation has been designated as an 'AI Ethics Compliance Organization' by the National Information Society Agency (NIA). The corporation plans to ensure compliance with ethical standards, including privacy protection, when introducing new artificial intelligence (AI) services at airports.
On October 19, Korea Airports Corporation announced that it received confirmation from NIA on October 8 for its designation as an AI ethics compliance organization. NIA designates organizations that meet certain criteria, including the establishment of AI ethical principles and the implementation of related training.
Last August, the corporation established an AI Ethics Charter, defining public interest and privacy protection as core principles, and conducted AI ethics training for its employees. In July, it launched a digital ethics campaign targeting passengers at Gimpo and Jeju airports.
Regarding AI, the corporation established an 'AI Innovation Committee' in June of last year, chaired by its president, and formed six subcommittees focusing on strategy and institutional improvement, operational innovation, safety and ethics, and technology and infrastructure. Since then, safety and ethics have been prioritized as separate areas in the AI implementation process.
Kim Won-jun, president of Korea Airports Corporation, stated, "The AI technologies used at airports must consider not only passenger convenience but also safety and trust. We will protect citizens' personal information and rights, creating AI airport services that everyone can use with confidence."
