Bio: Gyu Myoung Lee joined the Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU), UK in 2014, as Senior Lecture in the department of Computer Science and was promoted to a Reader in 2017 and a Professor in 2020. He is also with KAIST Institute for IT convergence, Daejeon, Rep. of Korea, as an Adjunct Professor from 2012.

Before joining the LJMU, he worked with the Institut Mines-Telecom, Telecom SudParis from 2008. Until 2012, he was invited to work with the Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI), Rep. of Korea. He worked as a research professor in KAIST, Rep. of Korea and as a guest researcher in National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), USA, in 2007. He worked as a visiting researcher in the University of Melbourne, Australia, in 2002. Furthermore, he also has work experiences in industries in Rep. of Korea.

His research interests include Internet of Things, digital twin, computational trust, blockchain with privacy preserving, data and AI governance, knowledge centric networking and services considering all vertical services, Smart Grid, energy saving networks, cloud-based big data analytics platform and multimedia networking and services.

Prof. Lee has been actively participating in standardization meetings including ITU-T SG 13 (Future networks and cloud) and SG20 (IoT and smart cities and communities), IETF and oneM2M, etc., and currently serves as a Working Party chair and the Rapporteur of Q16/13 (Future Networks: Trustworthy and Quantum Enhanced Networking and Services) and Q4/20 (Data analytics, sharing, processing and management, including big data aspects, of IoT and SC&C) in ITU-T. He is the Vice-Chair of ITU-T FG-AN and FG-AI4A as well as the Convenor of CG-AIoT. He was also the chair of ITU-T Focus Group on Data Processing and Management (FG-DPM) to support IoT and smart cities & communities. He has contributed more than 450 proposals for standards and published more than 190 papers in academic journals and conferences. He received several Best Paper Awards in international and domestic conferences and served as a reviewer of IEEE journals/conference papers and an organizer/member of committee of international conferences.

Prof. Lee received his BS degree in electronic and electrical engineering from Hong Ik University, Seoul, Rep. of Korea, in 1999 and MS, and PhD. degree from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), Daejeon, Rep. of Korea, in 2000 and 2007, respectively.



Title: Towards Internet of Value: Trustworthy & Decentralized Web 3.0 Platform with AI


Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT) are very important technologies for the future and recently there are a lot of research activities to combine AI and IoT, called AIoT (Artificial Intelligence of Things). Furthermore, data is becoming essential to support AI based solutions with human interactions. Blockchain revolutionizes how transactions are recorded as a machine for creating trust. In this regard, this talk introduces key concepts, features, and characteristics of the new Internet (Web 3.0 and its vision as Internet of Value) considering emerging ICTs integrating AIoT and blockchain. From Web 3.0 research, many researchers have identified that there are security, privacy, and trust concerns to realize user-centric Internet platform. To cope with negative effects of the new Internet, so called Web 3.0, environment for digital economy, it’s necessary to address trustworthy and decentralized platform. Therefore, from new economic paradigm for cyber spaces, data ecosystem and its features, this talk introduces key challenges for realizing the decentralized platform with trust technology and discuss next steps for future research.
