**Ethical Discussions Emerge as Digital Humans Advance in the Gaming Industry **
At the 34th Dong-A Morning Forum held at The Plaza Hotel in Seoul on May 9, experts discussed the future strategy of the gaming industry in the age of AI. They focused on the ethical issues that may arise as AI technologies, such as digital humans, become more integrated into the gaming industry. Digital humans, which are becoming increasingly difficult to distinguish from real people, are being developed by gaming companies like NCSoft, Smilegate, and Krafton. These digital humans can interact and converse like humans, potentially reducing production costs and expanding gaming experiences. However, experts argue that discussions on ethical issues surrounding digital humans, such as the need for AI to disclose its nature and how it should respond to users’ emotions, are necessary. They also emphasize the need to form a social consensus on issues like fake news and comment manipulation by digital humans, which could raise legal concerns.
