The era of working alongside AI has arrived. AI is now transforming the very definition of work, becoming human companions, substitutes, and even our alter egos. MIT Technology Review Korea's November/December issue, "Are You Ready to Work with AI?", reveals how work as we know it is being reorganized around AI.
In 'One Day, AI Came to Work Next to Me', the daily routine of agents that have infiltrated the white-collar industry is presented, and work automation routines are revealed through the case of a startup's '2 People + 5 AI Agents' operation.
It details how the career ladder is shaking as AI replaces interns and junior roles, and conversely, how seniors are evolving into 'AI nannies (orchestrators)'.

New forms of labor that connect reality and the virtual are also emerging.
'Shinsecia's AI Avatar' shows how marketing, education, and customer service are being reorganized through a scene where human-like digital avatars converse in real time and produce content.
'AI doppelganger' learns an individual's speech, work style, and even tacit knowledge to increase productivity.
AI entering the courtroom assists with case law research, document drafting, and evidence organization, and the provocative experiment of AI opening an academic conference suggests that the very method of knowledge production is changing.

In New AI, we gauge the direction of technology.
"Self-Evolving AI: Five Learning Secrets" dissects the speed at which AI is permeating products and services, while "Pigeons and Reinforcement Learning" introduces the influence of reward design borrowed from animal cognition on modern AI.
Lee Chao-ji, founder of Manus, which is shaking up the global app ecosystem, shows where the battleground is after the super-large model.
At the same time, Antropic's experiments and the OpenAI researchers' new agenda make it clear that safety and governance are no longer issues beyond technology.

Human & Technology covers missile defense strategies that have moved from movies to reality, the debate over regulating the dangerous "AI companions" that are driving teenagers to suicide, Starlink repair stations on the Ukrainian front, TSMC at the forefront of semiconductor geopolitics, the dynamics of China's introduction of generative AI that is shaking up the medical and educational fields, and the ethical issues surrounding the use of chatbots in psychological counseling settings.
In addition, it introduces quantum radar, the expansion of the boundaries of AirPods and hearing aids, the evolution of wildfire surveillance captured by lidar, and unfolds a new chapter in biotechnology through the debate over immortality in organ transplants, the birth of the world's longest frozen embryo, AI-designed viruses, genetic genealogy investigations, and the advent of 'lab-on-a-chip'.


We also look at energy beam startups targeting geothermal power, the limits of recycling, Google's first public disclosure of its Prompt power usage, the US-China clean energy gap, the threat of hidden emissions sources, the cost competitiveness of electric trucks, the oil and gas industry's climate technology transition, and an unusual landscape in the nuclear fusion industry.
In 'Space', we will see how space observation and prediction evolve through the combination of AI and NASA/IBM's solar storm early warning AI 'Surya'.

AI is no longer just a ‘tool’.
From offices to factories, restaurants, hospitals, security facilities, and even national defense, the AI-driven transformation of work has already begun. "How will it transform human work?" Prepare to work with AI with the November/December issue of MIT Technology Review Korea.
