National Human Rights Commission of Korea Annual Report 2022 procedures and methods for effective remedies in cases of human rights violations or discrimination caused by AI. In this regard, the Commission recognized the need to establish standards that should be followed from a human rights perspective in the development and utilization of AI, and reviewed relevant contents. The international community is already developing systems and guidelines to prevent problems that may arise due to AI. The United Nations has, on multiple occasions, recommended establishment of human rights protection measures for AI use, and the European Union has released a draft of the Artificial Intelligence Act, which includes the ban on AI-aided facial recognition systems, the assignment of high-risk levels to AI interview systems, and regulatory levels according to the degree of risk. In line with these international trends, the Commission presented guidelines that guarantee the dignity and autonomy of individuals, transparency and accountability, the right to self-determination, non-discrimination, implementation of AI human rights impact assessment, establishment of risk levels, and relevant laws and systems. B. ‌Recommendation for Institutional Improvements to Safeguard the Right to Health and other Medical Rights of Inmates Based on the Findings of Visits to and Inspections of Correctional Facilities Based on a survey on health rights conditions in detention facilities conducted in 2016, the Commission had recommended the Ministry of Justice to promote the health rights of detainees in August 2018, taking into account the recommendations of the UN Committee Against Torture on ensuring detainees’ access to medical care in May 2017. The Ministry of Justice had notified the Commission of an implementation plan, including increasing medical personnel in correctional facilities. However, as of 2021, more than 35% (70-80 cases per year) of petitions related to correctional facilities filed with the Commission had to do with the medical treatment and health rights of detainees, and cases of human rights violations, such as mass COVID-19 infections and deaths among detainees, continue to occur. Consequently, on November 3, 2021, the Commission carried out visitation investigations (Case No. 21BangMun0000300), focusing on the medical situation in the Busan Correctional Facility and nine other correctional facilities nationwide. 78
