MWITA-RD-2026-005 · Evidence A · P1
Korea's AI Basic Act took effect on 22 January 2026 and provides a national framework that includes high-impact AI, transparency, safety, investigation and corrective-measure provisions.
What this does not establish
The Act does not make every AI system high-impact and sector-specific rules may satisfy or modify implementation duties.
Counterevidence & uncertainty
Some January 2026 amendments have separate six-month commencement clauses; translations are non-authoritative.
What would change the reading
Track decree amendments, high-impact determinations, guidance, corrective orders and court decisions.
