A claim has been raised that the next government, entering the presidential election in June, must immediately adopt artificial intelligence (AI) governance.
The political organizations 'Righting the Party (Jeongbase)' and 'Youth National Assembly of Fine Voice' announced on the 27th that they held a discussion forum titled 'South Korea Refresh Project Season 1, Episode 3' in the National Assembly's Member’s Hall. This forum was conducted under the theme 'Discussing the great victory of the sovereign people, what comes next.'
The event was attended by former members Kim Yong-nam and Kim Jong-dae, former anchor Park Young-sik, lawyer Shin In-kyu, and about 50 citizens who had registered in advance. The participants discussed the direction to focus political participation energy from ordinary citizens following the impeachment of former President Yoon Suk-yeol and the four major reforms in politics, economy, security, and media.
Shin, the representative of Jeongbase, noted, "The overwhelming productivity of AI presents our society with challenges at the crossroads of utopia and dystopia," and emphasized, "AI governance must be implemented immediately based on the spirit of the times, and the new government must respond to this."
Kim Yong-nam, a former member in the economic institutional sector, stated, "To foster the growth of financial new industries, it is essential to enhance the shortcomings of private equity funds," while former anchor Park Young-sik in the media institutional sector emphasized, "There is a need for citizen-led new journalism to overcome the deceptive state of 'mechanical balance.'"
