On Tuesday, lawmakers gathered for a policy seminar to discuss the potential use of artificial intelligence (AI) in safeguarding children and adolescents from harmful online content while simultaneously generating employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities and older adults. Co-hosted by Reps. Park Ji-won and Seo Mi-hwa of the Democratic Party of Korea at the National Assembly Library in Seoul, the seminar focused on employing AI to identify and address detrimental material such as deepfake sex crimes, online grooming, and unlawful gambling, with human evaluators ultimately responsible for determining the severity of the flagged content.
The proposed model involves AI agents continuously monitoring and analyzing online content around the clock, promptly flagging any material that may pose a threat for further human review. Organizers argued that this approach could not only alleviate the burdens associated with labor-intensive monitoring but also create remote and flexible job opportunities for individuals who have previously encountered barriers to entering the workforce.
They emphasized that the integration of AI in detecting and analyzing vast amounts of data should complement, not replace, human abilities, thereby enhancing the overall effectiveness of the system.
