ABSTRACT

Recently, the Justice Party is pushing for legislation of a bill called the Algorithm Transparency Act. The bill is a revision to the Information and Communication Network Act proposed by Rep. Ryu Ho-jung on June 25, 2021, and aims to form a separate committee under the Korea Communications Commission to ask organizations operated for profit to search algorithms and explain the principles of arrangement. Currently, Korea treats algorithms as corporate secrets and does not disclose them, while the European Union (EU) implements the Personal Information Protection Regulations (GDPR) in relation to algorithm regulations. Therefore, this study summarizes the main contents of the Algorithm Transparency Act currently proposed to the National Assembly and reviews the current status of algorithm-related laws and systems in the European Union (EU) and the improvement of algorithm transparency.
