SEOUL, Feb. 13 (Yonhap) -- A South Korean expert has been selected as a member of a new U.N. body on artificial intelligence (AI) tasked with assessing various aspects of AI and its impact on human lives, the foreign ministry said Friday.

Kim Ju-ho, a professor at the School of Computing of the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), was among the 40 experts selected to the Independent International Scientific Panel on AI, the ministry said.

Kim is known for his expertise in the human-computer interaction and human-AI interaction research.

The panel was established under a U.N. resolution adopted in August last year. It has been mandated to assess opportunities, risks and impacts of AI in the non-military domain and produce an annual report, which will be presented at the U.N. dialogue on AI governance.
