[Asia Economy Reporter Yuri Choi] NCSoft (hereinafter NC) announced on the 7th that it has published a book titled The Most Human Future, which presents new ethical and philosophical issues in the era of artificial intelligence (AI).

The Most Human Future is a book that compiles the dialogues of Yoon Song-yi, NC’s Chief Strategy Officer (CSO), with world-renowned scholars including philosophers, sociologists, ethicists, and engineers in a series called ‘AI Framework.’ Under the theme of ‘A New Coexistence of Humans and AI,’ the book addresses emerging issues and future directions in the AI era from a multidisciplinary perspective beyond engineering discussions, including ethics, education, philosophy, and society.

‘AI Framework’ is an annual project conducted by NC as part of its ESG management core value of ‘Digital Responsibility ? AI Ethics.’ The AI dialogue content, released through the official YouTube channel and blog for one year starting April 2021, has accumulated over 1.7 million views. Five world-class scholars from Harvard University, Stanford University, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) participated.

In the book’s prologue, CSO Yoon stated, “More delicate attention and continuous questions from many people about a society coexisting with AI must continue,” and added, “I hope this will serve as an opportunity to activate diverse opinions and discussions to reach social consensus on the important values we hold.”

NC’s nonprofit foundation, the NC Cultural Foundation, has been collaborating with Stanford University and MIT since 2020 to develop AI ethics curricula for the ethical use of AI technology. Since 2021, it has been sponsoring the development of the ‘Embedded EthiCS’ curriculum for human-centered AI in partnership with Harvard University.

NC plans to distribute the book to AI convergence-focused high schools, AI industry-academia cooperation institutions, and universities to spread the necessity of leadership and ethical perspectives required in the AI era to future generations. All royalties from the book will be donated to the NC Cultural Foundation to support research on AI ethics curricula.
