This essay focuses on two key Korean values and applies them into the context of virtuous AI and pro-social robots. Jeong (정, 情), a traditional Korean emotion, represents a deep sense of solidarity, bond, self-motivated sacrifice, and self-sacrificial love for others based on empathy for both humans and nonhuman things. Hongik ingan (홍익인간, 弘益人間) means ‘to benefit the world widely.’ Drawn from the founding myth of the ancient Korea (Gojoseon), it provokes emotional and spiritual empathy for people and things. When properly implemented, the principle of jeong and hongik ingan have the potential to mitigate the risks posed by AI and foster more harmonious relationships between humans and robots. When the interaction between humans and AI robots becomes more important, the Korean concept of jeong may offer an ideal model of good and meaningful collaboration. Hongik ingan contains the vision of creating a beneficial world with non-human beings.
