  • "What kind of existence will humans have in the AI era?" GIST Vice President for Public Affairs Yonghwa Chung publishes 『The Last Human』 The Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST, President Kichul Lim)announced that Vice President for Public Affairs Yonghwa Chung published the newbook 『The Last Human』 on May 15, in which he reflects on the meaning of humanexistence in the era of artificial intelligence (AI) and the direction of future civilization. Set against the backdrop of an era where generative AI and automation technologieshave surpassed human capabilities and begun to shake the very foundation ofhumanity, 『The Last Human』 poses the fundamental question, "What makes ahuman human?" It distinguishes itself from existing AI discourse by contemplating thefuture of human life, freedom, community, and spirituality in the post-AI era, goingbeyond the possibilities and dangers of technological advancement.

  • GIST Senior Researcher Chul Kang and Senior Administrative Officer Na-young Lee receive Deputy Prime Minister's Commendation on 'Science and Information & Communications Day' The Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST, President Lim Ki-chul) announced that Senior Researcher Chul Kang and Senior Administrative Officer Lee Na-young received commendations from the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Science and ICT in recognition of their contributions to creating world-class research achievements and promoting science and technology promotion and communication, respectively, in observance of the 59th Science Day (April 21) and the 71st Information and Communications Day (April 22). Senior Researcher Chul Kang, who serves as the Head of the Future Space and Defense Research Division at GIST Advanced Photonics Research Institute, has been leading the field of terahertz (THz) optics since 2006. Terahertz is a "dream frequency" domain that possesses both the penetrability of radio waves and the rectilinear propagation of light, playing a pivotal role in the development of next-generation communication and advanced sensing technologies. Senior Researcher Kang has been developing high-efficiency terahertz light source technology based on ‘femtosecond laser’ technology, which concentrates powerful energy for an extremely short period of one quadrillionth of a second, and has published more than 70 papers in international academic journals (SCI-level) of world authority to date.
