Abstract

Nowadays we are not able to consider and imagine anything without taking into account what is called Artificial Intelligence. Even broadcasting media technologies could not be thought of outside this newly emerging technology of A.I.. Since the last part of 20th century, this technology seemingly is accelerating it's development thanks to an unbelievably enormous computational capacity of data information treatments. In conjunction with the firmly established worldwide platform companies like GAFA(Google, Amazon, Facebook, Apple), the key cutting edge technologies dubbed NBIC(Nanotech, Biotech, Information Technology, Cognitive science) converge to change the map of the current civilization by affecting the human relationship with the world and hence modifying what is essential in humans. Under the sign of the converging technologies, the relatively recently coined concepts such as 'trans(post)humanism' are emerging in the academic sphere in the North American and Major European regions. Even though the so-called trans(post)human movements are prevailing in the major technological spots, we have to say that these terms do not yet reach an unanimous acceptation among many experts coming from diverse fields. Indeed trans(post)humanism as a sort of obscure term has been a largely controversial trend. Because there have been many different opinions depending on scientific, philosophical, medical, engineering scholars like Peter Sloterdijk, K. N. Hayles, Neil Badington, Raymond Kurzweil, Hans Moravec, Laurent Alexandre, Gilbert Hottois just to name a few. However, considering the highly dazzling development of artificial intelligence technology basically functioning in conjunction with the cybernetic communication system firstly conceived by Nobert Wiener, MIT mathematician, we can not avoid questioning what A. I. signifies and how it will affect the current media communication environment.

오늘날 인공지능은 과학기술 공학 분야에 가장 중요한 기술로 떠오르고 있다. 방송미디어를 포함한 모든 과학기술은 완전히 새로운 기술의 등장으로 급격한 변화의 시대를 맞고 있다. 여럿의 핵심 기술과 그것의 운용이 전례없는 새로운 방식으로 융합하는 현상이 전개되고 있는 것이다. 이를테면 NBIC 기술융합현상을 꼽을 수 있다. 컴퓨터의 데이터 처리 능력과 속도가 기하급수적(exponentially)로 발달함으로서 나노, 바이오생명, 디지털 테크놀러지 그리고 인공지능 기술의 융합이 가능해진 것이다. 이 모든 기술융합의 현상의 중심에 인공지능이 위치한다. 인공지능 기술은 구글, 애플, 페이스북, 에플 등 거대 플랫폼 기업의 핵심역량으로 자리매김하고 있다. 디지털기술과 사이버네틱스를 기반으로 한 인공지능은 현재뿐만 아니라 미래 플랫폼 기업에 결정적인 전략자산이 될 것이 확실하다. 이러한 맥락과 배경에서 트랜스휴머니즘(더나아가 포스트휴머니즘)에 대한 논의와 연구가 북미와 서유럽 국가들을 중심으로 활발하게 일어나고 있으며 전세계적으로 확산하고 있는 추세이다. 일반적으로 트랜스휴머니즘은 인간역능을 개선, 향상(강화)하고 전통적인 휴머니즘에 도전하는 기술기반의 새로운 사상의 흐름을 말한다. 트랜스(포스트)휴머니즘은 과학기술의 발달로 촉발되었지만, 이것은 인간과 인류문명에 대해 근본적인 질문을 제기하고 있다는 점에서 과학기술영역을 넘어 횡단적이고, 특히 인문과학 중심의 학제적인 논의를 필요로 한다. 방송미디어가 단순히 기술공학 만이 아니라 정치와 문화영역, 즉 인간의 일상과 인류의 미래에 지대한 영향을 미치는 분야라는 사실을 고려한다면 인공지능기술과 그것의 다양한 함의에 대한 초학제적이고 복합적인 연구와 논의가 절실히 요구된다.

The proposal is credited with introducing the term 'artificial intelligence'." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dartmouth_workshop
