James Rhee Returns to SUNY Korea to Explore the Future of Intelligence in the Age of AI image

James Rhee Returns to SUNY Korea to Explore the Future of Intelligence in the Age of AI What does intelligence mean in the age of AI? James Rhee, global business leader, acclaimed CEO, and bestselling author, returned to SUNY Korea for a special lecture titled “A Perspective on the Future of Intelligence Upon the Launch of the New HBS Case.” Following his previous visit in September 2025, Rhee returned to share his perspectives on the future of intelligence and the importance of human agency in an increasingly AI-driven world. Rhee is recognized for his innovative approach to leadership, entrepreneurship, and organizational transformation. His leadership philosophy and work are the subjects of a newly published Harvard Business School (HBS) case, which examines his approach to building systems centered on human agency, trust, and goodwill. Drawing on his multidisciplinary experiences, Rhee has demonstrated how kindness, trust, and human connection can serve as powerful foundations for organizational success. As AI continues to develop and reshape how people learn, work, and interact, Rhee invited the audience to reflect on the role of humans in the AI-driven world. While AI can process information and generate sophisticated outputs, human wisdom, empathy, and connection remain essential. He highlighted the enduring value of human expression through the example of minyo, traditional Korean folk songs. Although their melodies may be simple or imperfect, they carry generations of wisdom, shared experiences, and emotional resonance that AI cannot create. His perspective emphasized the importance of radical human agency over technological passivity and systematic thinking to navigate complexity, make thoughtful decisions, and ensure that technological progress continues to serve humanity while preserving the value of human wisdom, kindness, and connection. During his previous visit to SUNY Korea, Rhee encouraged students to reclaim their agency and lead with kindness, emphasizing self-trust, balance, and goodwill as essential qualities for navigating uncertainty. His return built on these ideas, inviting the SUNY Korea community to reconsider the meaning of intelligence in an era of rapid technological change and to recognize the enduring importance of human agency and connection.
