N1 - There seems to be one remedy, though. If one can generate synthetic data by AI trained on real world samples with sensitive information, and if the generative AI has enough representation power, the data related issues could be much relieved. In this regard, KAIST and SSIS has taken an initiative toward such a direction with the financial support from National Research Foundation. While it is hard to tell how long it will take, once successful, it will allow the members of the broad ISE community to have a free access to the synthetic data without violating privacy for academic purposes, which will certainly make the ISE community the first and only discipline to deliver a social value to a greater public by reengineering welfare state and improving social welfare service delivery system around to world.

N2 - Contemporary society faces a growing set of complex issues representing significant socioeconomic, health and well-being, environmental, and sustainability challenges. The discipline of industrial and systems engineering (ISE) can play an important role in addressing these issues. This paper identifies and discusses eight grand challenges for ISE. These grand challenges are (1) Artificial Intelligence (AI) For Business and Personal Use: Decision-Making and System Design and Operations, (2) Cybersecurity and Resilience, (3) Sustainability: Environment, Energy and Infrastructure, (4) Health Issues, (5) Social Issues, (6) Logistics and Supply Chain, (7) System Integration and Operations: Humans, Automation, and AI, and (8) Industrial and Systems Engineering Education. The discussed grand challenges were derived by accomplished ISE professionals who are the authors of this paper. The implications of the ISE grand challenges for education, training, research, and implementation of ISE principles and methodologies for the benefit of global society are discussed.
