South Korean Journalists and Language Experts Propose Simplified Terms for AI and Agriculture

The proposal includes replacing ‘AI’ with ‘인공지능’ (artificial intelligence), ‘딥페이크’ with ‘(인공지능) 조작영상’ (deepfake), and ‘버추얼’ with ‘가상’ (virtual).

In the agriculture sector, terms such as ‘시비’ (shibi) are proposed to be replaced with ‘비료주기’ (fertilizer cycle), and ‘나라시’ is suggested to be changed to ‘고르게 만들다’ (to make something uniform).

The proposal aims to make complex vocabulary more accessible to the general public and to promote the use of simplified terms in news reporting and other fields.
