Abstract

This paper is designed to deal with the gaps and differences between the two Koreas, which have gradually increased since the Korean War. The purpose of this study, in particular, is to assess the digital and AI gap between the two parts of the peninsula in the emerging 4th industrial revolution era that is rapidly innovating the industrial structures, and to present a cooperation plan for the realization of a peace economy and economic prosperity of the Korean Peninsula in the future. In this study, policy alternatives for assessing and bridging the digital gap between South and North were drawn using the comprehensive policy (model) for closing the digital divide, which was one of Korea's past informatization policies. The derived alternatives are meaningful in that they can spark discussions for building the AI-driven society that realizes the integrated economy of the two Koreas complying with the future industrial structure.

본 논문은 한국전쟁 이후 단절의 연속을 보이고 있는 남북지역간의 격차와 차이 문제를 다루고자 연구를 설계하였다. 특히 정보사회와 지능정보사회를 통해 산업구조의 혁신과 변화가 빠르게 이루어지고 있는 4차 산업혁명시대를 맞이함에 한반도 남북지역간의 정보격차, 지능정보 기반 격차를 진단하고 이를 통합하여 한반도내 평화경제 구현과 미래산업시대의 경제번영을 위한 기반 조성을 위한 논의를 시작해 보고자 한다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 한국의 과거 정보화정책 중 하나였던 정보격차해소 종합 정책(모델)을 활용하여 한반도 내 남북 정보격차 현황과 해소를 위한 정책적 방법론을 도출해보았다. 본 연구를 통해 미래산업구조에 부합하는 한반도 통합 경제 구현을 위한 지능정보사회 구축을 위한 논의가 시작 되었으면 한다.
