South Korea promulgates the AI Basic Act
Promulgated the AI Basic Act — Act No. 20676; this is the promulgation date. Under the addenda it takes effect 1 year after promulgation
Why it matters
This is the promulgation date, not the effective date. The addenda set a 1-year grace period, so it must be kept distinct from the Jan 22, 2026 entry into force
