An era that humanity has never experienced before is coming!
A problematic work that has been raised five years since 『Leading with Reading』 and 『Thinking Humanities』

In November 2010, author Lee Ji-seong sparked a humanities craze in South Korea with his book, "Lead Through Reading," which introduced the 0.1% of readers who dominate the world's humanities classics.
Five years later, in March 2015, the author presented "Thinking Humanities," a practical version of his previous work, which showcased the thought-provoking study methods of Eastern and Western geniuses who shaped 5,000 years of history.
And then, in October 2019, the author returned to the very thing Steve Jobs clung to until his death.
It is artificial intelligence.
Why did it have to be artificial intelligence now?

The world situation has long been responding to the rapidly changing era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
We are planning in various fields, including education, to avoid being replaced by artificial intelligence.
What about us?
The author, feeling extremely sorry for the reality of standing on the 'burning deck' without any preparation or sense of alarm, clearly stated his intention in writing the book.

In June 1997, more than 10 years ago, Bill Gates visited Korea and said, “The future civilization of mankind will be artificial intelligence.
“If I were to go back to being a student again, I would study artificial intelligence more than anything else,” he said.
But at the time, none of us listened to Bill Gates.
And soon after, the national bankruptcy crisis (IMF) occurred.
Now, one writer says the same thing in 1997:
I hope your words don't disappear into thin air.
I hope the country responds.

"The era of lectures is over." "In 10 years, there will be no more room for you."
In the age of artificial intelligence, pay attention to the movements of the world's top 0.01%!

The UN announced that our country ranked 166th in the world in terms of average reading volume per person (2015).
World-renowned scholars, including Yuval Harari, have warned that South Korea could become the country most at risk in the age of artificial intelligence.
The Boston Consulting Group (BCG), one of the world's top three management consulting firms, identified South Korea as the country with the greatest number of jobs replaced by robots by 2025 (2015).
According to a report published by the International Federation of Robotics (IFR), Korea had 531 robots per 10,000 human workers, a whopping 462 more than the global average of 69 (2016).


If you've read this far, there's a very high chance that our country will become the world's leading country in terms of the rate at which artificial intelligence replaces humans.
What does this mean?
The possibility that you, the person reading this article, will lose your job due to artificial intelligence has greatly increased.
If that were to happen, what would happen to you and your family? It's terrifying to even think about.
There is an even more horrifying fact.
The problem is that you don't know much about this and you're not prepared for it.

What about the world?
Since the late 2000s, the world's top universities, such as Harvard, Stanford, MIT, and Yale, have been gradually experimenting with changing the lecture-based teaching style that creates "losers in the AI ​​era" to a teaching style that creates "winners in the AI ​​era."
And in 2012, they acknowledged that the era of lectures was over and decided to establish MOOC companies like Udacity, edX, and Coursera to make lectures, previously only available to students at their schools, available online.
The author, who introduces countless examples of such groundbreaking actions in the book, now asserts that “the era of lectures is over” and that those who have received lecture-based education “will become servants of artificial intelligence in the future.”


I am thinking about a life that cannot be replaced by anything else.
A book recommended to everyone in Korea!

The book consists of three chapters, and Chapter 1 clearly states that we are entering an era where nothing can be done without artificial intelligence, through movements in Silicon Valley and Harvard, and the educational revolution in Japan, the second Black Ship after the Meiji Restoration.
Chapter 2 introduces the actual confrontation between artificial intelligence and humans, warning that our positions may be threatened in the next 10 years.
And it diagnoses the current state of the Republic of Korea, which cannot be replaced.
So how can we become someone who gives instructions to AI, rather than someone who receives them? The final three chapters emphasize that empathy and creative imagination are uniquely human abilities that AI cannot possess, and propose "Eight," a response method currently being practiced by the world's top 0.01%.
The appendix at the end of the book provides a clear overview of the predictable future and global movements that the era of artificial intelligence will bring.


This book is not just a compilation of reports that we must know in the age of artificial intelligence.
Moreover, it is not a trend book that only provides the latest news and common sense.
This book is not simply intended to warn about the reality of South Korea lagging behind in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution led by artificial intelligence.


"Eight" is a book that focuses on each individual.
This is a book recommended to everyone in this age who strives to choose a life that cannot be replaced by anything else.
Do you dream of a sustainable life?
If so, you too should start practicing the next 'eight' suggested by the author from now on.

▶ 'Eight', practiced by the world's top 0.01%

Block Eight 1 Digital
To foster children's irreplaceable "empathy" and "creative imagination," parents in Silicon Valley surprisingly strictly limit IT devices.
And we treat IT devices from the perspective of a creator, not a consumer.


Eight 2: Establish Your Own 'Lifelong Kindergarten'
MIT's Media Lab aims to restore unique human abilities by allowing adults to experience the play and learning methods they acquired in kindergarten.
Artificial intelligence has no childhood.

Eight 3: Abandon 'Knowing', Becoming and Doing
Like Harvard, pursue flipped learning, a discussion-based learning model where textbooks and lectures are eliminated.
Artificial intelligence can imitate 'genius', but it cannot imitate 'genius creation'.
Work hard to pursue genius.

Eight 4: Change Your Mindset: Design Thinking
The design thinking that is highlighted at Stanford University's 'D School' belongs to those who strive fiercely to live 'humanely' every moment of every day.
In the age of artificial intelligence, it is important to shift from a work-centered life to a human-centered way of thinking.

Eight 5: A weapon that awakens the unique abilities of humans, Philosophy
For ancient Greek philosophers, 'thinking' was an act of recognizing the world of truth that exists forever and never changes.
Say 'Trivium'.
You should be able to share your values ​​with others.

Eight 6 Look, Share, and Fuse
Look at the author's work for a long time, share it with trustworthy people with fresh eyes, and integrate it with history, literature, and philosophy to develop ethical and moral judgment.
Artificial intelligence is not capable of solving this.

Experience the Eight 7 Cultural Anthropological Journey
Experience the real culture of people who have lived completely different lives in completely different environments.
The world-renowned university Minerva Schools has identified the ability to connect cultures as something that artificial intelligence will never be able to possess.

Eight 8 From 'I' to 'You', See 'We'
Focus on the humanity within me.
Serve those who are in the blind spot of human rights.
Only when we grow from a human who only knows ourselves to a human who knows you and us, can we finally meet a self that cannot be replaced by artificial intelligence.
