Lawmakers suggest AI monitoring to protect children, create jobs for vulnerable groups

On Tuesday, lawmakers convened a policy seminar to discuss the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in safeguarding children and teenagers from harmful online content while simultaneously generating employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities and older adults. The Democratic Party of Korea representatives Park Ji-won and Seo Mi-hwa co-hosted the seminar at the National Assembly Library in Seoul.

The main focus of the event was to explore the utilization of AI in identifying harmful content, encompassing deepfake sexual offenses, online grooming, and illegal gambling, while entrusting the ultimate judgment to human reviewers. According to the proposed framework, AI agents would continuously monitor and scrutinize online content 24/7, flagging any potentially hazardous material for human evaluation.

Organizers emphasized that this approach could remedy the constraints associated with labor-intensive monitoring processes, simultaneously creating remote and flexible employment prospects for people who have encountered obstacles in entering the workforce.
