In the age of artificial intelligence, human values will be more important. In the age of artificial intelligence, we will miss 'humans' because we have no choice but to experience far from human values in all environments we can directly experience.
The ideology of humanism is a natural legal ideology that has been embedded in the human mind since humans existed in the beginning. Whenever a temporary and partial ideology emerges and the crisis of losing humanity comes, the human subconscious has reaffirmed 'humanism'. And thanks to that, humans were able to survive without being destroyed yet.
Korea's founding philosophy is the 弘益人間. It means to benefit people widely. Mencius of ancient China emphasized human values by advocating monarchy (the way the king should go for the people). Ancient Athens had democratic politics for "human beings" within city-states. The reason why Rome fell is because of the decline of Roman citizens based on an exploitation economy based on slave labor that belittles humans. The Frankish kingdom, which destroyed Rome, embraced Christianity to live more humanely. The Renaissance movement arose in the Middle Ages to overcome humanity when it became an excessively god-centered Christian society. And scientific inquiry became active with a human-centered worldview.
The ideological confrontation that has plagued humans in various regions, including the Korean Peninsula, has been a confrontation that should have been ended early if interpreted from the perspective of 'humanism'. When capitalism, which helped humans economically, showed a problem of neglecting humans, communist ideas linked to the spread of scientism were born. The materialistic perspective of communist thought showed the problem of neglecting humans early on. And communism collapsed in a short time.
In the end, we have lived without forgetting the purpose of 'humanism'. And now, in the era of artificial intelligence, the time has come to confirm the concept of humanism once again. Compared to 'humanism', all human thoughts are partial.
