Yuhyun Park is the founder of the DQ Institute in Singapore, an international
think-tank dedicated to setting global standards for digital intelligence to ensure the safety, empowerment, and wellbeing of people, organisations, and nations in the AI age.

Dr. Park has worked as a global expert in digital education, safety, and ethics for the past two decades. Her contributions have been recognised with prestigious honours, including being named a World Economic Forum Young Global Leader, an Ashoka Fellow, and an Eisenhower Fellow. She has also received multiple UNESCO awards and the KAIST award.

Dr. Park created the Digital Intelligence (DQ) Framework — the global standard for digital literacy, digital skills, and digital readiness, approved by the IEEE Standards Association and endorsed by the OECD, IEEE, and World Economic Forum (IEEE 3527.1TM). She also developed the Child Online Safety Index, the world’s first metric tracker to help nations understand their children’s online safety status, which has shifted narratives around child protection on the internet.

Moreover, she led the #DQEveryChild initiative, a global digital citizenship movement to empower 8-12-year-old children with digital citizenship skills. Supported by governments, companies, and over 100 partner organisations, #DQEveryChild has taught comprehensive digital citizenship skills to children in over 80 countries, significantly influencing other major digital citizenship and online safety initiatives worldwide.

Building on the IEEE-DQ Global Standards and a global databank accumulated from international networks, Dr. Park developed an AI-powered digital skills engine called "Powered by DQ" (PBDQ). This innovative platform enables any organisation to develop its own high-quality digital skills programme tailored to specific needs. PBDQ democratises digital skills education and training — a field traditionally dominated by experts in the Global North, often involving lengthy development times. Now, any organisation, regardless of its expertise level, can quickly create a digital skills programme aligned with IEEE-DQ Global Standards and measure its impact within days.

Dr. Park is the author of the book IQ, EQ, DQ: New Intelligence in the AI Age,
described by Vint Cerf, one of the Fathers of the Internet, as a "must-read if you care about digital guardrails in our society." She completed her PhD in biostatistics atHarvard University and graduated from Seoul National University.
