Research Framework
Research Mission
Digital technologies fundamentally transform access to information, leading to restructuring of power dynamics. As AI-centered power shifts occur, communities undergo rapid changes, and demands for safe technology ecosystems grow. In this context, my research aims to:
My research strategy follows three phases: developing plans for a healthy and safe digital future through collaborative research with global experts; experimental validation using advanced systems to gather collective intelligence from AI-human wisdom for decision-making; and establishing practical governance through expert networks and real-time decision-making systems with global enforcement capabilities.

A comprehensive report analyzing Korea's AI transition readiness using the SIT Index framework. With scores of Pace Harmony (85), Agency Balance (58), and Value Consensus (42), Korea receives a 'Caution' grade of 62, with specific policy recommendations.
Safe and Inclusive Transition Initiative (SIT Initiative)2025.08.20
A comprehensive global initiative for peaceful transition through technological, power, and hegemonic crises. Features 5-tier Transition Councils with Cocoun AI representation, SITI measurement framework, and 4 city-based Living Systems for citizen choice.
Safe and Inclusive Transition Index (SIT Index)2025.07.01
How can we measure and track progress toward equitable and secure digital transformation? Comprehensive measurement framework using SIT Index/PS ratio to predict transition outcomes. Measures Safety Net, Governance, and Inclusion capacity relative to technological pressure.
AI and Future of Work
The Cognitive Cost of Unlimited Productivity: AI Burnout and Polywork Analysis2025.08.20
An in-depth analysis of AI-induced burnout and polywork phenomena, examining how AI's promise to reduce workload has paradoxically led to new forms of cognitive burden and psychological strain.
Superwork2025.04.05
How is AI transforming the nature of work, and what does the future of human-AI collaboration look like? This framework examines how AI is revolutionizing work across industries, creating a new paradigm where human potential is amplified through AI collaboration.
