# South Korea is the first in the world to implement guiding laws related to AI, and the relevant details have raised concerns in the domestic industry

South Korea officially implemented the "Basic Law on the Development of Artificial Intelligence and the Establishment of Trust" (referred to as the "AI Basic Law") starting from the 22nd. According to reports from South Korean media such as Yonhap News Agency and Kyunghyang Shinmun on the 22nd, this law is the world's first comprehensive AI legislation to enter the full implementation stage, aimed at promoting the healthy development of the AI industry while preventing the drawbacks of AI. However, the related execution details have raised concerns in the South Korean industry, especially among small and medium-sized enterprises. South Korean media cited survey results showing that only about 2% of AI startups in South Korea have established compliant response systems, while nearly 98% of companies stated that they find it difficult to meet the requirements of the legislation.
