Topic Korean Picture Books Today Closing the 2023 Korea Picture Book Award 2024.01.02 In November 2023, the winners of the first Korea Picture Book Award, organized by the Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism and the Publication Industry Promotion Agency of Korea (KPIPA), were announced. Eight titles and publishers were honored in the grand prize, special prize, and rookie prize categories for fiction and nonfiction. Considering the size of the prize and the diverse range of winning titles, it was a good start for a new award system.

Topic [Publishing & AI] Artificial Intelligence (AI) Use Casesin the Korean Publishing Market 2023.12.04 At the 75th Frankfurt Book Fair in Germany this past October, a program dedicated to artificial intelligence (AI) was the center of attention. Stakeholders in the publishing industry, including writers, publishers, bookstores, and readers, have entered an era where books are being created and used in a completely different way.

The AI Storm Sweeps the Publishing Industry: Chat GPT

Topic [Publishing & AI] The AI Storm Sweeps the Publishing Industry: Chat GPT 2023.10.04 In 2016, Lee Se-Dol, one of the world’s greatest Go players, faced off against Alpha Go, an artificial intelligence (AI) program developed by Google’s Deep Mind, which was like the match of the century. Few expected Lee to lose, and Lee Se-Dol was humble enough to say he might lose one out of five games. But a few days later, the internet was abuzz with news of Lee’s shock defeat by Alpha Go. That was the beginning. Lee Se-Dol managed to get one win after a string of losses. His overall score was 1-4.

AI is spreading to various fields, such as mobility, robotics, and the medical...
