Kim & Chang Law Firm, led by Managing Partner Jeong Gye-seong, is set to hold a seminar addressing security risks and legal responses related to the rise of agentic artificial intelligence (AI).
On October 13 at 2 p.m., the firm will co-host a public seminar titled "Security Issues and Regulatory Responses in the Age of Agentic AI and Specialized Models" at the Crescendo Building in Jongno-gu, Seoul, in collaboration with the Information Security Forum of the Korean Association of Information and Communication Law.
Agentic AI refers to technology that autonomously calls external tools and systems to perform tasks based on user instructions. While it has the potential to significantly enhance corporate productivity, concerns have been raised about new security risks, including misuse of AI authority, prompt injection (inserting malicious commands), information leaks during API integration, and accountability in the event of incidents.
With the implementation of the Basic Act on Artificial Intelligence and changes in the regulatory environment, establishing effective security controls and compliance systems throughout the AI adoption and operation process has become a critical task.
The seminar will focus on technical solutions for controlling the autonomous functions of agentic AI and specialized models, as well as designing internal control systems for corporate cyber crisis response.
The event will begin with opening remarks from Lee Seong-yeop, a professor at Korea University and president of the Korean Association of Information and Communication Law, followed by a welcome address from Jeong Young-jin, a lawyer at Kim & Chang. Professor Lee Sang-geun from Korea University’s Graduate School of Information Security will present on "Trends in the Autonomous Capabilities and Control Measures of Agentic AI," while Han Hye-won, a lawyer at Kim & Chang, will discuss "Directions for Designing Corporate Internal Control Systems Related to Cyber Crisis Response."
A comprehensive discussion will follow, moderated by Professor Kwon Tae-kyung from Yonsei University, featuring participants including Professor Lee Joo-hyung from the University of Seoul, Professor Park Gi-woong from Sejong University, Lee Jong-hyuk, a senior official from the Ministry of Science and ICT, Min Kyung-pyo, CISO of Kakao Bank, and Kim & Chang advisor Cha Yun-ho, who will explore practical response measures.
Lee Seong-yeop, who planned the event, stated, "The spread of agentic AI and specialized models maximizes corporate productivity and efficiency, but it also raises new types of security risks and accountability issues due to autonomous tool invocation and system integration. I hope this seminar serves as an important guideline for companies to design effective technical control measures and internal control systems in the rapidly changing regulatory environment, thereby building a safe and trustworthy AI ecosystem."
