About

Yong Sup Song is a pioneering scholar at the intersection of cultural theology, social robotics, and ethical artificial intelligence. His work critically examines how religious frameworks and cultural values shape the design, deployment, and moral reception of AI and robotic systems. Song’s most-cited paper, “Cultural theology and social robotics: the intersection of religion and science in ethical AI” (2025), has already garnered 3 citations—a notable early impact for a nascent field. In this work, he argues that integrating theological perspectives into AI ethics is essential for creating culturally sensitive and globally responsible technologies. Song’s contributions bridge a critical gap between technical development and humanistic inquiry, offering a nuanced framework for understanding how spiritual and ethical traditions influence public trust in autonomous systems. His research is particularly relevant as societies grapple with the moral implications of robots in caregiving, worship, and daily life. By foregrounding cultural theology, Song challenges technocentric narratives and advocates for a more inclusive, interdisciplinary approach to AI governance. His work is a vital resource for students and researchers exploring the ethical dimensions of emerging technologies.
