Seoul Cyber University's Department of Safety Management invited Shinbum Kim, CEO of PicChem Inc., to give a special lecture at its semester-opening general meeting on September 5. The lecture was arranged to run both in person in Room 504, Building A, at Seoul Cyber University and online, so that all current students and alumni could take part.

Under the core theme “AI Technology for People and the Planet,” the lecture drew on PicChem's use of AI to examine what domain experts should prepare for in the AI era. Starting from the current state of chemical management regulation and policy, it covered the changes AI has brought and what they mean, ways to secure transparency and explainability through ontology-based reasoning, and the problem of overlooked data within workplaces.

He served as an expert member of the National Assembly special investigation committee on the humidifier disinfectant disaster (2016) and as a member of government committees, including the Chemicals Management Committee and the Chemicals Evaluation Committee.
