AI disclosure law
South Korea: AI-content disclosure requirements
South Korea requires AI-content disclosure under Framework Act on AI (AI Basic Act) + Enforcement Decree, in force from 22 January 2026.
What it requires
Operators must notify users in advance that AI is in use and, where outputs are hard to distinguish from real content, label outputs as AI-generated (human-perceptible or machine-readable; a one-time human-readable notice is required either way).
Who must comply
Operators providing products or services using generative or high-impact AI.
What content is covered
AI use notification and AI-generated-output labelling.
Status and notes
In force since 22 January 2026. Administrative fines and fact-finding investigations are deferred for roughly one year in 2026 except in cases of serious harm.
How to comply with AIDisclose
Publish an ai-disclosure.json manifest declaring the AI systems your site uses, add the on-site snippet to render the required notices and labels in 28 languages, and keep timestamped, exportable evidence that they were shown. Start with a free check of your site.
