In response to the rapid spread of artificial intelligence (AI) technology and the restructuring of economic and industrial frameworks, a series of new books have been released that provide insights into practical skills for individuals and survival strategies for nations.
Moon Hyung-nam, a professor at Sookmyung Women's University and president of the Korea AI Education Association, has recently published four new titles: 2027 AI Outlook, 2027 Investment Outlook, Public Procurement Management Practical Exam Summary, and 2030 AI Powerhouse Korea. These works aim to connect technological changes, asset markets, professional certifications, and national policies, offering readers concrete directions for action.
AI Evolving from Tools to Environments: Emphasizing 'Human Leadership' and 'National Roadmap'The two new books addressing future technology discourse focus on the paradigm shift in AI and the corresponding national strategies.
2027 AI Outlook highlights the transition of AI from a mere 'tool' for work assistance to an 'environment' that defines everyday life and business. The author presents 'Human Drive' as a key concept, emphasizing that as technology advances, the human responsibility for setting goals and making judgments becomes increasingly prominent. This book serves as a guide for business leaders, educators, and practitioners who aim to actively lead AI in educational and industrial settings.
2030 AI Powerhouse Korea broadens the perspective to address national-level strategies for building an AI ecosystem. Written to stimulate policy discussions amid delays in the government's comprehensive roadmap announcement, this book outlines specific infrastructure development, talent cultivation, and industrial application strategies necessary for South Korea to emerge as one of the world's top three AI powers, attracting the attention of public policy officials and strategic planners.
Integrated Analysis of Five Major Assets and Practical Guide for Public Procurement: Tailored Solutions for ReadersAdditionally, tailored books for readers focused on practical economic decisions and enhancing job competencies have been released.
2027 Investment Outlook encompasses five major asset markets: stocks, real estate, bonds, gold, and cryptocurrencies. It analyzes the correlations between the changes in the industrial ecosystem triggered by AI and each asset class, providing investors with a balanced perspective to assess their portfolios within macroeconomic trends.
A practical exam guide that can be immediately applied in the field has also received a positive response. Released on September 30, Public Procurement Management Practical Exam Summary achieved the top spot in the weekly bestseller list for economics and management at Kyobo Bookstore just five days after its release. It includes key summaries by eight competency units, a 42-day study roadmap, five mock exams, and a total of 501 questions covering short answer, descriptive, and calculation formats. The author's expertise, having served as the 21st president of the Korea Procurement Association (2024-2025), aids students in systematically preparing their answers.
Meanwhile, Moon's earlier publication, K-Wave 5.0: The Era of K-Brand Success, released in August, also ranked 19th in the history and culture category at Kyobo Bookstore, reflecting his ongoing efforts in interdisciplinary research and practical writing that includes cultural content and K-brand studies.
