What are the solutions for respecting life in the AI era? SOOP to hold online seminar

[Financial News] SOOP will hold an online seminar to discuss respect for life and suicide prevention in the age of artificial intelligence (AI). Through expert talks and audience participation programs, it aims to raise public awareness of the value of life and promote a healthy online culture.
SOOP announced on the 11th that it will hold the “2026 Second-Half Respect for Life Seminar” with the Korea Foundation for Suicide Prevention (KFSP).
The seminar will be livestreamed on the SOOP platform at 7:30 p.m. that day. Streamer “Danze” will host, with Kim Eun-young, a team leader at KFSP, and Kim Pan, head of the Publishing Strategy Team at Kukmin Ilbo, taking part as speakers.
In the first session, team leader Kim Eun-young will explain relevant statistics and the importance of respecting life under the topic “Suicide in Statistics.” In the second session, team leader Kim Pan will speak on “Messages and Challenges for Respecting Life in the AI Era.” Each talk will be followed by a live Q&A via the chat window, and an audience participation event is also planned.
SOOP has run suicide prevention campaigns with KFSP since 2023. In 2024, the two organizations signed a memorandum of understanding to promote a culture of respect for life, and since then they have held seminars twice a year, once in the first half and once in the second half.
This past September, SOOP received a ministerial commendation from the Ministry of Health and Welfare (MOHW) for its contributions to promoting a culture of respect for life and suicide prevention efforts. SOOP plans to continue its initiatives to promote respect for life, with streamers and users taking part together.
