Korea Gas Corporation (KOGAS; President Hong Eui-rak) announced on the 10th that it has obtained the 'Artificial Intelligence (AI) Ethics Compliance Institution Verification Mark' from the National Information Society Agency (NIA).

The 'AI Ethics Compliance Institution Verification Mark' is a certification granted to institutions and companies that fulfill ethical responsibilities in the development and utilization of AI technology and create trustworthy environments.

As KOGAS has recently accelerated AI adoption across its operations, the company established institutional foundations based on the determination that securing not only technological efficiency but also ethical legitimacy and reliability is essential.

First, KOGAS established the 'KOGAS Artificial Intelligence Ethics Guidelines' to set basic principles applicable to practical processes, and internalized ethical awareness among employees through in-house sharing. Additionally, the company made AI misuse prevention and proper utilization training mandatory for all employees, fulfilling all requirements necessary for certification.

With this certification as an opportunity, KOGAS plans to establish a culture of responsible AI utilization throughout the organization while further increasing the credibility of public services for citizens.

KOGAS President Hong Eui-rak emphasized, "As important as AI adoption is its correct and responsible use. We will integrate AI ethics throughout the organization and continue to advance administrative services that citizens can confidently trust," he said.
