Jason Kwon, OpenAI’s Chief Strategy Officer (CSO), will appear in a special discussion on the ‘Seoul AI Policy Conference (SEOUL AI POLICY CONFERENCE 2024)’ held on the Ferrum Tower in Seoul on the twelfth and thirteenth.
Jason Kwon, CSO, is the one that oversees the policy, legal, and social impact research team at OpenAI. He first gained publicity last November when he helped to bring back CEO Sam Altman after he was fired by the board of directors.
Since then, as a representative figure of OpenAI, he has expressed his opinion on AI governors in various interviews.
Specifically, as AI issues of safety have recently been raised and the upcoming release of ‘GPT-5’ has garnered intense attention in america, attention is being paid to what position they are going to tackle AI governance.

This conference is hosted by Seoul National University’s Artificial Intelligence Policy Initiative (SAPI) and Seoul National University’s Center for Trustworthiness in Artificial Intelligence (CTAI), and is designed to hunt sustainable solutions and concrete implementation plans for frontier issues being discussed on the forefront of worldwide AI governance discussions.
On the twelfth, following congratulatory remarks from Personal Information Protection Commission Chairman Koh Hak-soo, Artificial Intelligence Law Society President Choi Kyung-jin, and Seoul National University AI Research Institute Director Jang Byeong-tak, a special discussion with OpenAI’s CSO Jason Kwon on the subject of ‘Frontier Issues in AI Alignment’ might be held.
Also, Jason Mathewso, Chief Business Officer of Microsoft Enterprise Standards, will give a special lecture on AI standards, one in all the most well liked topics in AI governance recently, and Christopher Yu, a professor on the University of Pennsylvania and an authority in network policy, will give a keynote speech titled ‘The Evolution of AI Governance Models.’
On the thirteenth, Professor Daniel Solov of George Washington University, a world authority in the sector of privacy, will give a keynote speech titled ‘The Challenges of Privacy and AI Regulation,’ and Professor Pamela Samuelson of UC Berkeley, a frontrunner in AI and copyright protection research at the middle of worldwide controversy, will give a keynote speech titled ‘The Encounter of Generative AI and Copyright.’
“It isn’t any exaggeration to say that whether the world we live in will turn out to be a more dangerous place due to AI or whether it’s going to help humanity advance toward the world we’ve dreamed of depends upon how flexible and robust a governance system we construct,” said Professor Yong Lim, SAPI’s co-founder and director. “It’s time for us all to pool our wisdom.”
