He proposed. Byun Sun-yong, a professor of ethics at Seoul National University of Education, said, “If humanity wants to develop and use artificial intelligence, it is important to fulfill its responsibilities holistically, continuously, and in the future,” and explained, “It is important to design responsible artificial intelligence.” He continued, “Responsible artificial intelligence requires all members related to artificial intelligence to take responsibility, manage the potential risks of artificial intelligence, and use artificial intelligence stably to enhance human dignity, the public good of society, and the sustainability of the natural environment.” He explained. At the same time, he suggested, “For the future of humanity, responsibility design must be implemented in the development and use of artificial intelligence to prevent the ‘non-responsibility phenomenon’ from occurring due to the unclear nature of responsibility that we must maintain and the proliferation of responsible entities, and the method of realizing responsibility must be specified based on this.” Jong-gu Jeong (8th episode of Transformation), lawyer at Logos Law Firm, said, “Responsible artificial intelligence is a new direction in the era of generative artificial intelligence,” and “For sustainable AI, “An ecological and international cooperative approach is needed,” he emphasized.
