COVID-19 has triggered various changes in our everyday lives and how we conceptualize the functions of governments. Some areas require stricter forms of regulation while others call for deregulation. The challenge for the regulatory authorities is to manage these potentially conflicting demands in regulation and define coherently their overall regulatory rationale. The precision regulation approach can be a helpful approach. It is defined here as a streamlined approach to regulation to deliver the right methods of regulation for the right group of people at the right time. This problem-solving innovation in regulation triggered by the recent epidemiologic crisis in South Korea demonstrates the emergence of the precision regulation approach. South Korea has implemented streamlined fast-track services for the biotechnology industry to produce test kits swiftly. This article expands the definition of precision regulation from AI regulation literature, and positions the term as a new regulatory rationale, not as a regulatory tool, using the case study from South Korea.
COVID-19 已经引发了我们日常生活和政府职能概念的各种变化。一些领域需要更严格的监管形式,而另一些领域则需要放松监管。监管机构面临的挑战是在监管中管理这些潜在冲突的需求,并明确界定其整体监管理由。精准监管方法可能是一种有用的方法。这里将其定义为一种简化监管的方法,以便在正确的时间为正确的人群提供正确的监管方法。韩国最近发生的流行病学危机引发了这种监管方面的创新性问题解决方法,表明了精准监管方法的出现。韩国为生物技术行业实施了简化的快速通道服务,以迅速生产试剂盒。本文从韩国的案例出发,将精准监管的定义从人工智能监管文献中扩展出来,并将其定位为一种新的监管理念,而不是一种监管工具。
