Publisher's Review
Your future depends on your ability to handle AI!
Survival Strategies for AI New Humans Living in a Revolutionary Age
In the AI era, what will my job be like? How can I survive without being replaced? This book is a "guide for the new AI human," containing clear answers from AI experts to questions that everyone living in the AI era wonders about.
It is difficult for the general public to even grasp the trends of what new jobs will emerge and disappear in the next five or ten years.
The world is going through a truly turbulent time right now.
While the Industrial Revolution gradually transformed the world over 200 years, the AI revolution is reshaping the way we work, learn, and even think in just over a decade.
In the past, factory machines replaced the jobs of manual laborers, but now AI is rewriting the future of nearly every profession, including doctors, lawyers, and artists.
Professor Song Kyung-hee, an AI policy expert who has overseen advanced technology policies in the government for decades and knows the field better than anyone else, wrote this book in the hopes that it will help everyone interested in AI properly understand the opportunities, challenges, possibilities, and risks and prepare for the future.
The author says that what we need now is neither excessive expectations nor vague fears.
The important thing is to clearly recognize the value and limitations of AI and utilize it wisely so that AI can develop in the direction we desire.
Just as our country, a latecomer to the information age, quickly embraced and utilized technological change thanks to its national character, we were able to create a history of leaping forward as an IT powerhouse. Similarly, if we become active agents in creating change rather than passive participants in the AI revolution, we can not only leap forward as an AI powerhouse once again, but also make our personal lives happier.
This book, which offers direction to individuals who wish to become active agents of change rather than passive ones in the AI revolution, and a vision for society, will be a must-read for those leading the era of the AI revolution.
The era of AI that surpasses human imagination!
To prevent the worst-case scenario
Things we must think about now!
How and to what extent has AI permeated our lives? Part 1 of this book vividly details the AI-powered lifestyles we encounter in every aspect of our lives.
Beyond making our lives more convenient, AI agents, my own personal butlers, are changing our consumption habits and even our tastes; AI content is being created infinitely as well as breaking down the boundaries between the virtual and the real; AI controls living spaces, goes beyond diagnosing and treating diseases to developing new drugs; AI designs future transportation beyond autonomous driving to flying. The reality of AI seems like a dream future.
But where there is light, there is shadow.
This book also explores the privacy and security issues that come with it.
These are things we must consider in order to enjoy a comfortable life.
Part 2 of this book goes beyond privacy concerns to address the ethical and social challenges posed by AI.
From bias and discrimination inherent in algorithms, to increasingly sophisticated phishing and deepfake crimes, hallucinations and malfunctions, AI weapons, and the potential threats to humanity posed by superintelligence, this article examines various risks and the technological and legal efforts to address them from a macroscopic perspective. As AI advances at a dazzling pace, new challenges are emerging one by one.
All kinds of crimes are becoming more intelligent day by day through AI, and wars using AI weapons are also becoming more serious.
We have entered an era where human-made machines are harming humans.
It is difficult to even guess the increasingly novel nature of crime.
There is a growing fear that AI, developed to improve our lives, may actually end up threatening our lives and survival.
What we most urgently need is to establish ethical standards and systems to prevent crimes using AI.
How are countries around the world and our country preparing for this?
One of the most controversial topics of recent times concerns the artistry and copyright of AI creations.
In early 2025, an unexpected 'Ghibli fever' blew.
With ChatGPT transforming any photo into the Ghibli animation style, many people have been sharing their photos with a 'Ghibli style'.
When AI mimicked long-honed creations in just a few minutes, not only did creators feel threatened, but a group of people began raising ethical concerns.
So how should we think about this problem?
Professor Song Kyung-hee, who has personally worked at the forefront of technology policy, draws on her extensive experience to identify key challenges we must address immediately. She outlines the areas we must all consider and prepare for, along with solutions, to ensure AI serves as a beneficial, rather than detrimental, tool.
Korea, still behind, still has a chance!
To become the 'country that best uses AI in the world'
The most specific and clear advice!
Part 3, "Surviving in the AI Era," explores ways for us all to live together, based on the impact of AI on the labor market and social structure.
Will AI really take my job away? The author explores various perspectives on job changes and explores the need for social safety nets, basic income, and AI democratization to increase AI accessibility.
We also explore the potential of AI nomads, personalized AI tutors, and education platforms that leverage AI for creative work, and highlight examples of public service innovation, from handling civil complaints to identifying blind spots in welfare and responding to disasters.
At the same time, we discuss the risks of human rights violations and bias that may arise in the process.
Part 4, titled "The AI Era: Creating the Future Together," proposes a vision and strategy for our country to move forward.
Considering the perspectives of the nation and the company as well as the global competitive order, the "FACE Strategy (3F, 3A, 3C, 3E)" is proposed to become "the country that best uses AI in the world," and 12 core tasks are proposed specifically: leaping forward as a technological powerhouse, inclusive development, securing talent, and leading a new global order.
The FACE strategy consists of the 3F (Fundamentals, Field, Facility) strategy for advancing to an AI technology powerhouse, the 3A (Access, Accountability, Adaptability) strategy for a sustainable AI society, the 3C (Creativity, Catch, Circulation) strategy for winning the global talent competition, and the 3E (Ethics, Engagement, Enrichment) strategy for leading a new global order.
Suggestions for specific key tasks can be found directly in the book.
What matters most now, at this point, is the interest and participation of each and every citizen.
The lives of individuals and the future of our nations in the AI era will change significantly depending on our choices and preparations.
This book will serve as the optimal guide for seizing the initiative in the fiercely competitive world of preparing for the new AI era.
