According to AI TIMES, the Ministry of the Interior and Safety finalized ethics standards on October 2 for the use of trustworthy artificial intelligence in the public sector. The standards are built around six core values — publicness, equity, transparency, accountability, safety, and privacy protection — and 68 self-check items. They focus on reducing concerns over biased decisions and privacy violations as AI adoption in public work increases, while creating an administrative environment that the public can trust. In particular, the accountability item makes clear that even when AI assists administrative decisions, final control and responsibility remain with humans. Accordingly, the ministry plans to divide responsible parties from planning through operation, and also establish oversight systems and follow-up management measures that allow human review or intervention. The ministry also said it would make the standards work on the ground through education and feedback systems rather than leaving them as a declaration.
Perspective
This standard shows that the use of AI in the public sector is moving beyond a race to adopt technology and toward questions of operational responsibility and public trust. In particular, leaving final judgment and control to humans is significant in that it redraws the line between AI as a support tool and AI as the de facto decision-maker in public services. Going forward, on-site operations are likely to be evaluated not only on performance, but also on reviewability, intervention procedures, and damage relief, which could push public-sector AI adoption toward a more cautious and structured approach.
