What does Article 31 of Korea's AI Framework Act (AI Basic Act) require about notifying users of generative AI and marking realistic synthetic sound, images and video, and what penalties does the same text attach?
In the CSET unofficial translation (bytes match producer pin), Art. 31 requires advance AI notice (1), generative-output notice (2), clear notice/indication for hard-to-distinguish virtual sound, image or video with an artistic-work accommodation (3), and delegates details to Presidential Decree (4). Curator addition: Art. 43(1)(3) fines failure to comply with an Art. 40(3) corrective order, so breaches of 31(2)/(3) have an indirect fine route through a corrective order; only 31(1) is fined directly.
