Modern computing is human-centric. Its focus has shifted significantly towards humans – the creators, users, and subjects of computing – from the hardware and software technologies. This paradigm shift, as demonstrated by the growing interest in social computing with big data, presents opportunities for a deeper understanding of individuals necessary to improve the quality of life. The KAIST School of Computing carries forward the vision of human-centric computing by staying committed to excellent research and educating future global leaders of computing technologies.
