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

LG AI Research believes that responsible AI development is as important as technological innovation, and operates an AI Ethics Seminar in which diverse members of the organization participate. This seminar serves as a forum where researchers, business developers, UX designers, and others gather to explore the ethical challenges of AI and apply them in practice.

In particular, this seminar poses a fundamental question at a point when generative AI has become essential infrastructure for work: "How far should we extend human judgment and ways of working through AI?" To address this, it analyzes collaboration models between humans and AI based on psychological theories.

Key discussion topics include the following:

• Dual-process theory: Through Daniel Kahneman's theory, the seminar examines how intuitive System 1 and analytical System 2 operate, and warns of the risk that AI's 'plausible-sounding answers' may undermine human critical thinking.
• Humans as Narrative Beings: Citing Jerome Bruner's theory, it analyzes how humans structure experience and turn it into Narrative, and considers how AI intervenes in humans' unique process of narrative construction.
• AI UX Principles: It covers UX principles that design AI not as a mere tool but as a 'Colleague' to enable effective collaboration with humans, along with actual service application cases.
