Compliance Guide

South Korea Artificial Intelligence Act

South Korea's AI Act establishes a risk-based regulatory framework for AI systems, with mandatory impact assessments for high-risk AI and specific requirements for transparency and accountability in autonomous agent operations.

Agent-specific requirements

  • Risk classification: high-impact AI systems require pre-deployment impact assessments
  • Transparency obligations: disclosure when interacting with AI and explanation of AI decisions
  • AI impact assessment for high-risk applications in hiring, credit, healthcare, and law enforcement
  • AI reliability and safety verification for high-risk AI systems
  • User protection measures including opt-out rights for AI-based profiling
  • Registration and reporting requirements for high-impact AI operators

How Signet scoring maps to K-AIA

Signet's five-dimension scoring provides the quantitative reliability and safety verification that K-AIA requires for high-risk AI. The Quality dimension supports transparency through documented accuracy tracking. Configuration fingerprinting and audit trails provide the documentation needed for AI impact assessments. The composite score serves as an independent trust metric for regulatory reporting.

Implementation guidance

Operators deploying agents in South Korea should maintain Signet Scores above 750 for general use and above 850 for high-impact applications. Use Signet's configuration tracking to support pre-deployment impact assessment documentation. Enable full audit trails for transparency compliance. Report Signet Scores as part of AI operator registration requirements.
