Juho Kim

Juho Kim is an Associate Professor in the School of Computing at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) and directs KIXLAB, the KAIST Interaction Lab. His research spans human-computer interaction, human-AI interaction, social computing, learning at scale, video interaction, and data-driven interaction. His current research framing emphasizes Interaction-Centric AI: designing transparent, controllable, and collaborative AI systems, including interactive technologies powered by large language models and generative AI to support learning, creation, and decision-making. He is also a member of the United Nations Independent International Scientific Panel on AI; the UN member page describes his research as human-AI interaction.

He is a co-founder of SkillBench, Inc. His homepage uses the title Chief Scientific Officer, while the KAIST G-CODEs page uses CTO; because the public sources differ, this profile preserves both descriptions rather than forcing a single title. His homepage lists the KIISE/IEEE-CS Young Computer Researcher Award, KAIST's Songam Distinguished Research Award, Grand Prize in Creative Teaching, Impact Research Award, Global Research Cooperation Award, Outstanding Ethics Professor Award, Q-Day Creative Education Award, and Excellence in Teaching Award, along with paper awards and recognitions from ACM CHI, CSCW, EMNLP, and other venues.
