The Journey Toward Trustworthy AI: Introducing LG AI Research's 'AI Ethics Seminar'

As AI technology advances, responsible development and use, not just technological innovation, is emerging as a core challenge. LG AI Research defines AI Ethics research as an essential process to ensure AI brings true benefit to humanity.

The AI Ethics Seminar is a forum where diverse members of the organization—AI researchers, business developers, UI/UX designers, data scientists, AI policy planners, and more—gather to explore ethical challenges. Participants discuss how to apply ethical principles to actual work and deepen the true value of AI.

As seen recently with the 'Replacement.AI' advertising campaign in San Francisco, narratives suggesting that AI could replace human roles are causing social anxiety. In an era where AI surpasses human capabilities, we need to reexamine the existing definition of 'Competence.'

If capability is defined merely in terms of computational speed or efficiency, AI could become a threat to humans. Therefore, in the AI era, beyond result-oriented 'Knowing,' society needs a discussion on how to redefine the role and value of humans.
