Summary
👤
SeniorYoung-min Ji is a founder and interdisciplinary researcher with over eight years of professional experience blending software engineering, architecture, and philosophical inquiry into artificial consciousness. Based in Busan, he leads Sookmook Future Informatics Foundation and has held senior technical advisory and interim CTO roles, applying decades of hands-on systems work from early BBS operations to modern AI research. His work uniquely aims to fuse Eastern philosophical traditions—Buddhism, ethics, and psychology—with machine architectures to create evolvable, morally grounded cognitive systems rather than commercial products. A practitioner-scholar, he combines software craftsmanship, mentoring experience in robotics clubs, and leadership in research communities to explore mind architectures that span microorganisms to robots. Often working solo, he has already mapped portions of complex cognitive mechanisms and positions his long-term program as a necessary cultural and technological contribution to humanity’s future.
