Travelgraphics publishes Kim Young-su's book on humans and AI
The book argues that when humans and AI judge together, the key questions are who sets the goal and who corrects errors when both are wrong.
Publisher Travelgraphics announced on November 3, 2026, that it has released Kim Young-su's new book, "세 번째 사피엔스: 단백질과 실리콘, 그 사이의 맞물림," according to datanet.co.kr.
The book argues that when humans and AI judge and act together, the central questions are who sets the goal and who corrects errors when both are wrong. The author defines the "third sapiens" as a state of interlocking between protein-based humans, silicon-based AI and the institutions around them, not a new species or a cyborg.
It traces the lineage of machine intelligence from al-Khwarizmi, Leibniz and Turing through semiconductors, neural networks, language models and AI agents. The explanation is framed around five forces: board, body, model, desire and execution.
A correction constitution
The book proposes a 13-article "correction constitution" under which neither humans nor AI alone can make the final judgment. According to the book, that constitution must itself remain revisable, because it too can be wrong.
Kim heads the Korea Business AI Institute and previously worked at Samsung Electronics for about 30 years in strategy, innovation and global management, leading the "Market Driven Company" innovation and serving as head of the Spanish and Middle Eastern subsidiaries.
