Limitations and Improvement of the Cultural Industry Promotion Act

Beyond the industrialization of culture, the cultural industry is created in a digital form by using generative AI as a creative tool. For the purpose of realizing a cultural state, the Cultural Industry Promotion Act, enacted in 1999, has been faithful to the legislative purpose of promoting the cultural industry for the industrialization of culture. In the meantime, not only the creation of culture but also the consumption methods of consumption have been diversified. In particular, the creation of content by generative AT is reaching a situation where the paradigm for creation and consumption can be changed. It is necessary to think about the digital ecosystem, not just digital transfonnation, and in line with this, essential changes in the cultural industry are expected. This is why legislation for sustainable growth of the cultural industry in the deepening period beyond the digital transition period is required. It will focus on the current status of cultural industry legislation such as the Cultural Industry Promotion Act and the Content Industry Promotion Act, the digital transformation system, its status as a basic law, and overlapping content-related regulations. In summary, the limitation of the Cultural Industry Promotion Act is that it focuses on the typification of traditional cultural industries. In addition, the limitation is that it is limited to roles as individual laws rather than roles as basic laws. Although the Cultural Industry Promotion Act is a basic law, it has been confirmed that there are various limitations such as the lack of a digital transfonnation response system such as status and system and the rise of AI as a basic law. Based on these limitations, I would like to present an improvement direction. In particular, it was also confirmed that although it is a limitation of the Cultural Industry Promotion Act, much of the Cultural Industry Promotion Act overlaps with the Content Industry Promotion Act. To this end, we would like to present the consistency of the two laws by reviewing the overlapping matters of the Cultural Industry Promotion Act and the Content Industry Promotion Act.
