The ethical principles established by SEM are based on the core goal of “AI utilization for small businesses and the public” and consist of seven key tenets: public interest, fairness, transparency, accountability, safety, information protection, and professionalism.

The initiative was designed to prevent a variety of ethical risks that may arise during AI-driven work processes and to establish proper standards for AI use among executives and staff.

All SEM employees have completed the “AI Ethics Education” program organized by the National Information Society Agency (NIA), and on July 16, the organization was designated as an “AI Ethics Compliant Institution” by the NIA.

SEM plans to apply this pledge across its entire “AX Strategy,” which is one of the institution’s core objectives. Going forward, the agency aims to elevate a safe and transparent management system by applying the ethical principles throughout the planning, implementation, operation, and utilization stages of AI-based work innovation initiatives.

Tae-Yeon In, Director of SEM, stated, “With the declaration of these ethical principles, we will further strengthen the responsible AI capabilities of our staff so that SEM can become a leading agency for AX in the public sector.”
