      “Artificial Intelligence brings great benefits. But people are now facing new challenges, such as ethical issues with AI, personal data protection, and replacement of human job posts. The AI Council is committed to helping people solve this problem,” said Lee during his speech.

      “I am very pleased to have the opportunity to use the interdisciplinary and multi-national backgrounds and experience here to establish an in-depth dialogue with the global community, and outline a future where human and artificial intelligence can co-exist,” Lee added. 

      The 2019 World Economic Forum kicked off on Jan. 22 in the Swiss town of Davos and runs until the Jan. 25. Every year the forum gathers around 2,500 top business leaders, international political leaders, economists, celebrities, and journalists to discuss the most pressing issues facing the world.
