INLEVEL9

Oswarld (Kwangseob Ahn)

Adjunct Professor at Sejong University, Strategy Consultant at INLEVEL9

INLEVEL9 helps companies adopt AI, transition to it, and prepare for it, while offering direction on market entry, product strategy, and GTM strategy.

He began his career managing game projects at Nexon. He later worked across finance at Hanwha Life, Notion’s Korean launch and community, AI products at Kakao Brain, and GTM strategy at Gamma. The industries changed, but the job was often the same: connecting products with markets and technology with people.

His recent research asks what conversational AI should remember, forget, and verify when it works with people over time. He also runs Daily Arxiv, a daily curation of AI research.

He holds a master’s degree in Management of Technology and an MBA from Korea University and is the author of Homo Brainless: The People Who Outsource Their Thinking.

INLEVEL9 Letter (formerly OZ Talking) is published at 11:00 a.m. and explores how changes in AI, business, and society connect. The aim is not to add more information, but to leave readers with signals they can use to make decisions.
