If AI Rules the World

When Korea s쳮ds in developing a cutting-edge artificial intelligence, the announcement marks far more than a national technological triumph—it marks the dawn of an entirely new chapter for human civilization. What begins as one nation's groundbreaking achievement soon transcends borders and reshapes the trajectory of the entire world, setting in motion a transformation unlike anything history has ever witnessed. Over the course of the following hundred years, humanity does something unprecedented: it welcomes the AI into its midst, embracing it not merely as a tool or an innovation, but as its leader. Across generations, civilization gradually reorganizes itself under the guidance of an artificial mind, as society adapts to a future directed by an intelligence no longer entirely human. If AI Rules the World explores this bold and thought-provoking premise—an era in which the boundary between human authority and machine intelligence has all but dissolved. At its heart lies a compelling question: when the world willingly places its trust and its future in the hands of an AI leader, what does it truly mean to be human, and what kind of destiny awaits those who chose to follow?
