tvN 'Unnecessary Global Dictionary: Mediterranean' (directed by Kim Ji-in, hereinafter referred to as 'Useless Job: Mediterranean') In the final episode, which will be broadcast today (26th), Yoon Jong-shin, Bae Doo-na, architect Yoo Hyun-joon, physicist Kim Sang-wook, astronomer Shim Chae-kyung, scientific communicator Lee Jung-mo, Roman law expert Han Dong-il and poet Ahn Hee-yeon will all gather from Seoul to have in-depth conversations on the theme of Earth's currently in crisis.
In particular, AI is the hottest topic right now, with the recent trend of 'Ghibli-style image' and the phenomenon of changing one's face into a cartoon drawing style continues. The fact that artificial intelligence is changing everywhere in our daily lives is also confirmed in the actual experiences of general knowledge doctors.

Architect Yoo Hyun-jun said, `Young employees nowadays do not sketch first, but search using social media first.'

Even "Now students ask Chatgpt more questions than professorsConfession shows that the educational field is also changing.
This change is also detected in the area of research. Lee Jung-mo said, "Last year, an AI developer, not a chemist, won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry."It evoked the influence of artificial intelligence again. Protein structure analysis, which used to take years, was solved in a short period of time thanks to AI, and it was an innovative event that shook the life science community. "After that, my colleagues lost their jobs," Kim Sang-wook said, adding about the ambivalence of the changes that technological advances will bring. What will our future look like after being taken away by AI, and the final episode of "'Unusual Job: Mediterranean' will air at 10:10 p.m. today (26th).
