[London (UK) = Egan Sports Chosun, reporter] Korean cultural heritage is converted to digital and visits London, England.

The Korean Cultural Center in the United Kingdom (hereinafter referred to as the Cultural Center) will hold a special exhibition 'Digital Cultural Heritage, Together with Artificial Intelligence'. This special exhibition will showcase a new future of digital cultural heritage in the 21st century by linking traditional Korean culture and artificial intelligence. By applying Korean cultural heritage with artificial intelligence technology, it creates, experiences, and interprets new challenges that humans and machines co-evolve.

The exhibition will display a digital image of Korea's representative Bangasayusang (Director of the National Museum of Korea, National Treasure No. 83). In addition, science and art artists Shin Seung-baek and Kim Yong-hoon will present 'MIND (hereinafter Heart)', which converts emotional recognition into sea sound with artificial intelligence technology. Poems in the masterpiece of Korean art 'Mongyudowondo (1447)' are translated into English using a giant language model to regenerate the Renaissance idea of Korean aesthetics in the 15th century.

Digital images of Korean cultural properties owned by the National Museum of Korea and the British Museum are selected, and a new interpretation of humans is added to the creation and error in the process of generating text in a giant language model. We introduce the latest research that reinterprets political and social implications through data analysis of the Annals of the Joseon Dynasty, a UNESCO documentary heritage. It shows works that look deeply into the human mind like the Bangasayusang, Mongyudon, which sublimates the conflict between ideals and reality, national treasures such as the Annals of the Joseon Dynasty, and cultural heritages owned by major British institutions with artificial intelligence, and explores humanity through works that interpret emotions in them.
