NCSoft CEO Kim Taek-jin told newly hired employees that “insight” will be a core competitive edge in the age of artificial intelligence.
NCSoft said it held a “Conversation with the CEO” event on April 23 at its Pangyo R&D center in Seongnam, Gyeonggi province, where Kim and this year’s new hires discussed competitiveness in the AI era and the direction of game development.
“As AI technology advances rapidly, the human role moves further into more essential areas,” Kim said. “To stay competitive in the AI era, you need the insight to see through the essence and meaning of the work you are responsible for.”
On game development, Kim stressed what he called “instinctive fun.” “The most ideal game delivers pure fun that is hard to explain in words,” he said. “Beyond logical explanations, we must create fun that stimulates users’ instincts.”
Kim also urged new hires to grow quickly. “The new employees who were here 10 years ago are now at the center of the company,” he said. “I hope you grow even faster and lead NCSoft to the next stage.”
NCSoft said it has used the “Conversation with the CEO” onboarding program since introducing open recruitment in 2006 to share the company’s philosophy and vision.
