Birds, trees, and sunlight.
A virtual forest created by AI after learning massive ecological data.
Using data as paint, AI is now depicting even a new nature that cannot be seen in reality.
Is AI expanding the realm of art, or is it trying to become a creator itself?
The theme of this year's SBS D Forum is "Sovereignty of Thought."
Fighter jets without pilots cleave through the skies, and unmanned aerial vehicles strike targets with precision.
To what extent can we entrust AI with decisions that can take human lives in a split second?
Hanwha Aerospace presents the potential for AI to contribute to national security, while Korea Aerospace Industries demonstrates the future of air combat that the development of AI pilots will bring.
An era where even memory is dependent on AI.
Bestselling poet Park Joon does not view human memory simply as information stored in the head.
Memories accumulated layer by layer over people and places do not disappear with time, but at some moment seep back into contemporary life.
[Park Joon / Poet: They each harbor their own stories. You pile them up, and pile them up, and pile them up, and when you go back, that which is clearly the past is called upon in the present tense.]
Before we knew it, AI has stepped beyond memory and into the realm of deciphering human thought.
"Mega-brain model" research has approached the secret of how human thoughts are formed by reading signal patterns occurring in the brain and connecting them with language.
[Cha Jiwook / Professor, Department of Psychology, Seoul National University: In the task of decoding what sentence was heard or what thought was had, a lot of work is being done to combine brain models and language models...]
There are also voices saying that now is the time to remove anxious gazes mixed with awe and fear toward AI and contemplate what true humanity is.
[Kang Leeyeon / Chair Professor, Department of Industrial Design, KAIST: We must accept an uncomfortable truth. Machines are replacing a part of us.]
The SBS D Forum will also announce the results of a large-scale public perception survey on AI conducted among 2,000 South Korean citizens by SBS Cultural Foundation, together with Seoul National University's Institute for Future Strategy, Yonsei University's Graduate School of Information, and KAIST.
How far should we leave things to AI, and what should we leave as the domain of humans?
"The Age of Alternative Intelligence, Questioning Sovereignty of Thought." The SBS D Forum will seek those answers together on November 5.
