Kim’s research bridges two core domains: German idealism (particularly Kantian philosophy) and the philosophy of artificial intelligence. His work explores interdisciplinary intersections between classical epistemology and modern AI ethics, critical psychology in the Kantian tradition, and bioethical frameworks for artificial intelligence humanities. Through 30 peer-reviewed papers and five authored/edited books, he investigates how Enlightenment-era philosophical principles inform contemporary digital and AI challenges.
Kim’s publications reveal a focus on applying Kantian epistemology to AI explainability (e.g., 2022’s Unexplanable Explanable AI) and foundational ethical frameworks (e.g., 2020’s Groundwork of Artificial Intelligence Humanities). His keyword themes span Philosophy, Artificial Intelligence, Epistemology, and Bioethics, with sub-fields addressing AI Ethics, Algorithmic Transparency, and Digital Humanities.

His keynote at the 9th Siegen Kant Conference (2021) highlights his international recognition.
