Abstract

The issue of AI's ethical consciousness has been constantly on the rise. AI learns and imitates everything behavior human beings do, just like a child. Therefore, the ethical consciousness we currently demand from AI is first the ethical consciousness required of humans, and at the center of it is the dignity of humans. Thus, this study analyzed human identity and its problems according to the development of AI technology, apologized the theological premises and characteristics of human dignity, and sought the direction of human dignity education as follows. First, this study discussed the development of AI and its relation to human beings. The development of AI's technology has led to the sharing of "reason or intelligence" with machines called AI which have been restricted to the exclusive property of mankind. This raised the question of the superior humanity which humans would be remained to be distinguished from AI machines. Second, this study discussed transhumanism and human identity. Transhumanism has been argued for the combination of AI machines and humans in order to improve inefficient human intelligence and human capabilities. However, the combination of AI machines with humans raised the issue of human identity. In the AI era, human identity is to believe thoughts that God had when he built us. Third, this study apologized theological premise and characteristic about human dignity. Human dignity has become a key concept of the constitution and international human rights treaties around the world. Nonetheless, declarative conviction that human is dignified is difficult to be understanded without Christian theological premise. Theological premise of human dignity lies on the fact that human is dignified feature being granted life by Heavenly Father. This feature lies on longing for "Goodness" and "eternality", pursuit of beauty, a happy being in relationship with others. Fourth, this study presented the direction of human dignity education. The direction of human dignity education has to awaken what is identity of human and how human beings were created and how much they are precious. Furthermore, it lead human to ponder consciously and accept the highest value of what human beings are, how they were created, and how precious they are. That is about educating human identity, and its core is that regardless of the circumstances - the wealth gap, knowledge level, skin color, gender, age, disability, etc. - all people are in God's image and for the glory of God, thereby being very important to God.

AI의 윤리의식 문제는 국제적인 것이며 지속적으로 나타나고 있다. AI는 어린아이처럼 인간의 모든 것을 습득하고 모방한다. 그러므로 현재 우리가 AI에게 요구하는 윤리의식은 먼저 인간에게 요구되는 윤리의식이며, 그 중심에는 인간에 대한 존엄성이다. 이에 본고는 AI 기술의 발전에 따른 인간의 정체성과 그 문제를 분석하고, 인간 존엄성의 신학적 전제와 특성을 변증하여, 인간의 존엄성 교육의 방향을 모색하는 연구를 진행하였다. 첫째, AI의 발전과 인간에 대해 논하였다. AI 기술의 발전은 인류의 전유물로 여겨지든 '이성 혹은 지성'을 AI이라는 기계와 공유하게 되었다. 그래서 AI 기계보다 탁월하며, 구별되는 인간성에 대한 의문이 제기된다. 둘째, 트랜스휴머니즘과 인간의 정체성에 대해 논하였다. 트랜스휴머니즘은 비효율적인 인간의 지능 개선과 인간 능력 향상을 위해, AI 기계와 인간의 결합을 주장해 왔다. 하지만 인간과 AI 기계의 결합으로 인한 인간 정체성에 대한 문제가 심각하게 제기되었다. AI 시대, 인간의 정체성은 하나님이 우리를 지으실 때 품으셨던 마음을 믿는 것이다. 셋째, 인간의 존엄성에 대한 신학적인 전제와 특성을 변증하였다. 인간의 존엄성은 세계 각국의 헌법과 국제인권조약의 핵심적 개념이다. 하지만 인간이 존엄하다는 선언적인 확신은 신학적 전제 없이는 이해하기 힘든 주장이다. 인간 존엄성의 신학적 전제는 천부로부터 생명을 부여받은 존엄한 존재라는 것에 있다. 또한 그 특성은 인간의 '선'과 '영원성'에 대한 갈망, 아름다움의 추구, 관계 속에서 행복한 존재라는 것에 있다. 넷째, 인간의 존엄성 교육의 방향을 제시하였다. 인간 존엄성 교육의 방향은 인간은 어떤 존재이며, 어떻게 생겨났으며, 얼마나 소중한 존재인지 일깨워주고, 의식하고, 최고의 가치로 받아들이게 하는 것이다. 그것은 인간의 정체성을 교육하는 것이며, 그 핵심은 어떠한 형편이든 - 빈부격차, 지식정도, 피부색깔, 성별, 연령, 장애여부 등 - 관계없이 모든 사람은 하나님의 형상, 하나님의 영광을 위한 존재로서 하나님께 매우 중요한 존재라는 것에 있다.
