South Korea has the highest robot density in the whole world, with at least one robot for every 10 people in the country. Two, South Korea has the unenviable record of being one of Asia’s most overworked countries. It is therefore no surprise that even a service robot would “feel” the fatal pressure of the overworked workplace, and develop a glitch that plunged it to its death. This plays into the overall fabric of institutional dysfunction, especially in the over-bloated and ineffective public service, where too many people doing nothing, too many doing too little, and too few people doing too much. Second, if the existing public service is flawed in mediating human-to-human ethical relations, how do we hope to situate the human-AI component and achieve even a measure of success?
