Global AI Principles for Trust

  • Although Generative AI is a technology that produces and spreads information across borders, it has limitations in that inaccurate information can be quickly spread around the world in the areas of culture and history. In particular, there are cases in which Korean cultural heritage is created with images or explanations that are different from the actual through Generative AI, which is not a problem of a specific country, but a problem that all countries face in common. The case of distortion of Korean cultural heritage, such as Gyeongju facial pattern meniscus, Cheomseongdae, and Seokgatap through Generative AI, is an example of why international principles and cooperation systems are needed. This distortion occurs when Generative AI learns informal data or secondary processed contents rather than official public data of each country. Since information containing culture or history is not just data but an area containing the identity and values of the country, clear international standards and cooperation systems are needed when Generative AI deals with it.
    Therefore, I would like to propose the establishment of the principle of trust in AI cultural and historical information that can be shared by the international community. First, when the Generative AI generates cultural and historical information, it is encouraged to learn official public data provided by governments first. Second, AI-generated cultural heritage images and descriptions clearly indicate information on countries and institutions that serve as sources or reference criteria. Finally, if errors are found, it is to establish a correction and verification path for citizens and experts to participate together. In addition, governments will be able to establish a cooperative model to prevent cultural distortions of Generative AI by standardizing their cultural and historical public data to be used for AI learning and sharing them with the international community.
    In the era of Generative AI, I believe that culture and history are objects of protection and respect. If the international community comes up with principles for reliable AI information management together, Generative AI can be used as a tool to spread cultural understanding, not as a cause of cultural distortion.
