Sogang University has released Season 3 of its SOGANG101 lecture series on its official YouTube channel, under the theme “Reconsidering Humanity in the Age of AI.” The new season explores how rapid advances in artificial intelligence are reshaping human roles, values, and responsibilities across society.
Unlike previous seasons, which focused on in-depth lectures by individual professors, Season 3 adopts an interactive format in which students pose questions and multiple faculty members respond from diverse academic perspectives. Each episode features two to three professors, creating a cross-disciplinary dialogue that integrates insights from philosophy, science, engineering, social sciences, and the humanities.
Comprising eight episodes, the series addresses key issues such as ethical responsibility in AI decision-making, human-centred technological development, the transformation of work and knowledge production, and the enduring significance of creativity, moral judgement, and critical thinking. Through these discussions, SOGANG101 moves beyond technical explanations to examine how humans can coexist with and meaningfully engage with advanced technologies.
The series reflects Sogang University’s commitment to interdisciplinary education and critical inquiry in the AI era. By connecting technological innovation with humanistic perspectives, it seeks to foster deeper understanding of the social and ethical implications of artificial intelligence and to encourage broader reflection on the meaning of humanity in a rapidly evolving technological environment. In particular, the programme underscores the importance of ethical responsibility and sustainable thinking in shaping the relationship between humans and intelligent technologies.
The full series is available on Sogang University’s official YouTube channel. The series is supported by YouTube’s automatic subtitle translation, allowing global audiences to engage with the content in multiple languages.
