EBS said on the 8th that Chey Tae-won, chairman of SK Group, will appear on EBS's "Great Lecture, Great Minds." Chey will be the first lecturer of Season 6 of "Great Lecture," and the program is titled "AI, New Capitalism and Youth." His lecture will air on EBS1 at 11:45 p.m. on weekdays from October 12 to 16.
"Great Lecture" is a program that has, over the past 5 years, discussed major questions facing humanity with world-renowned scholars and intellectuals, including economists, philosophers, scientists and artists. This broadcast will feature Chey's lecture. As a businessman who has experienced industrial changes in semiconductors, energy and telecom, Chey's topic for this appearance is the economy, society and career paths for young people in the AI era.
In the lecture, Chey is expected to explain the roles of companies, the economy and society in the AI era. He is also expected to deliver a message to the effect that social challenges must be solved with AI.
Chey noted that social problems cannot naturally be resolved through economic growth alone. He said the rapid advance of AI and the swift changes in industrial and job structures are deepening the complexity of existing social problems.
Based on this view, Chey stressed the need for a capitalism with new values. The capitalism with new values that he proposed is about creating new social value and linking it to economic value.
Chey has been contemplating this vision of capitalism through experiments over the past 10 years, and he explained how capitalism with new values can address social problems and whether it can work in practice. This reflects the view that, amid the rapid spread of AI and the accelerating changes in industry and employment, social problems are becoming more complex rather than resolving on their own.
Chey also presented a message about the capabilities and role young people need in the AI era, and suggested ways for them to solve social problems using AI. He stressed that AI should be seen not as a mere productivity booster, but as a means to address social challenges, saying that AI can only deliver benefits if it helps reduce social costs and solve difficult problems. He also emphasized that, more important than AI technology advancing itself, is the way it is used to solve social problems.
The lecture was designed to focus on the shape of the new economy and society South Korea will build amid the backdrop of AI driving changes across industry, the economy, jobs and social structures, and to explore that direction together with young people. One of the key themes presented in the lecture was the need for cooperation between South Korea and Japan.
Chey mentioned the rapid changes in the world economic order brought on by the emergence of AI and argued that South Korea and Japan need to create new economic growth opportunities. He also presented a "Korea-Japan economic alliance" as a new option for South Korea, raising the point that, since the two countries have industrial capabilities, joint Korea-Japan responses to the changing global economic environment are possible.
A Q&A session with young people then followed, during which Chey's personal experiences and how he uses AI were disclosed. The young participants asked how he anticipated and prepared for the coming AI era, how he uses AI, and what he would challenge himself to do if he could return to his 20s; Chey responded candidly with his experiences and thoughts.
The program centered on Chey Tae-won, "AI and New Capitalism and Youth," will air on EBS1 at 11:45 p.m. on weekdays from October 12 to 16, and replays will be available on the EBS website after the broadcast.
