This study aimed to examine public concerns in South Korea considering the country's unique context, triggered by the advent of generative artificial intelligence such as ChatGPT. To achieve this, comments from 102 YouTube video news related to ethical issues were collected using a Python scraper, and morphological analysis and preprocessing were carried out using Textom on 15,735 comments. These comments were then analyzed using a Correlated Topic Model (CTM). The analysis identified six primary topics within the comments: "Legal and Ethical Considerations"; "Intellectual Property and Technology"; "Technological Advancement and the Future of Humanity"; "Potential of AI in Information Processing"; "Emotional Intelligence and Ethical Regulations in AI"; and "Human Imitation."Structuring these topics based on a correlation coefficient value of over 10% revealed 3 main categories: "Legal and Ethical Considerations"; "Issues Related to Data Generation by ChatGPT (Intellectual Property and Technology, Potential of AI in Information Processing, and Human Imitation)"; and "Fear for the Future of Humanity (Technological Advancement and the Future of Humanity, Emotional Intelligence, and Ethical Regulations in AI)."The study confirmed the coexistence of various concerns along with the growing interest in generative AI like ChatGPT, including worries specific to the historical and social context of South Korea. These findings suggest the need for national-level efforts to ensure data fairness.

Purpose of Research : Since ChatGPT's 2022 release, the educational sector faces mixed reactions to generative AI, sparking innovation but raising concerns about student cognition and communication. While Christian colleges employ AI reflecting their values, secular institutions stress ethical usage. This study explores ethical AI use in these settings, aiming to integrate findings into educational practices. Research content and method : Analyzing AI use and ethics guidelines from 50 domestic and international universities, differences between Christian and secular institutions were explored. Data was categorized, conceptualized via open coding, and components were identified through axial coding. The importance of components for Christian colleges' AI guides was assessed based on the initial data and previous research, leading to the development of tailored AI utilization components for Christian universities. Conclusion : Studies revealed secular institutions have six AI guide components, while Christian colleges found seven in both utilization and ethics guides, focusing on truthfulness, responsibility, and diversity. Emphasizing the need for ethical AI use in Christian colleges, the findings advocate developing AI ethics guidelines to aid marginalized groups and establish a new educational paradigm through further research.

인터넷의 급속한 성장으로 인하여 인터넷의 순기능에 대한 긍정적인 면보다는 역기능에 대한 우려가 커지고 있다. 따라서 인터넷의 역기능으로 빚어지는 비인간적이고 비윤리적인 문제들을 해결할 수 있는 정보통신윤리교육 프로그램 및 교재 개발이 필요하다. 특히 가정의 주체가 되는 학부모를 대상으로 한 프로그램 및 교재의 개발은 미흡한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 학부모 정보통신윤리교육을 위한 e-Learning 컨텐츠를 설계 및 구현하고자 한다. 학습내용에는 학부모의 인터넷 활용수준 평가 인터넷의 역기능에 대한 통계, 자녀와 함께 하는 인터넷 활용법, 유해물 차단방법 및 도움기관에 대한 정보를 제공하고 있다. 학부모의 e-Learning 컨텐츠 학습을 통하여 인터넷 사용법에 대한 안내자의 역할뿐만 아니라 가정에서 부모와 자녀간의 올바른 인터넷 사용 문화의 정착을 할 수 있도록 개발 및 적용하고자 한다.

After the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been growing interests in metaverse technology and social use of virtual reality platforms in non-face-to-face environments, but social issues and ethical concerns raised by metaverse have not been sufficiently discussed. In this paper, we discuss the social functions of the metaverse by examining the movie 'Ready Player One', and investigate the ethical problems that may arise in various implementation of metaverse. We identify the potential ethical problems that could occur in the context of metaverse including identity fragmentation, metaverse violence and crime, and mismanagement of personal information. We also propose some promising approaches to tackle these ethical problems ranging over descriptive ethics, normative ethics, and analytical (meta) ethics.

The study explores the ethical issues surrounding AI-generated art, which is rapidly becoming more prevalent across various fields. AI technology has revolutionized art creation and management, but this rise has sparked debates on the creativity, ethics, and social responsibility of AI-generated artworks. The study aims to examine and analyze attitudes toward these ethical concerns, focusing on the recognition of AI art's creativity, its social responsibility, and ways to address ethical issues in its creation process. It emphasizes the need to recognize AI's unique creativity while establishing clear ethical guidelines to manage these new forms of art. Key findings indicate that while AI democratizes art by enabling more people to engage in creation, it also risks diluting the unique creativity of human artists and impacting their market positions. The research highlights the necessity of indicating sources and securing permissions to avoid copyright infringements and calls for automated copyright management systems and ethical standards. Moreover, it underscores the importance of ensuring AI-generated art does not reinforce social biases and is accessible and fairly distributed. The study concludes that ongoing research and policy development are essential to ensure AI art positively impacts society and culture, fostering innovative and creative expressions responsibly.

The aim of this study was to test the correlation of ethical values and perception of biomedical ethics in nursing students. Data was collected from September 10th to October 5th 2012, was analyzed using the t-test, the one-way ANOVA, the Scheffe, the Multiple regression and Pearson's correlation. The average point of consciousness of biomedical ethics was 2.98(${\pm}0.2$). The highest score of 3.27(${\pm}0.5$) was seen in the category of the ethics for 'right to life of the fetus', the lowest score of 2.70(${\pm}0.4$) was seen in the 'organ transplantation'. As a result of analyzing on general and specific aspects, the difference was found in gender and ethical values(F=6.148, p=<.001). In gender, the score of biomedical ethics(r=0.108, p=.003) and ethical values(r=-0.185, p=.002) were showing a positive correlation. The predictors of biomedical ethics was gender(${\beta}$=0.205, t=3.399, p=<.001), the possibility of biomedical ethics problems depend on the development of science (${\beta}$=0.142, t=2.261, p=0.025) and ethical values(${\beta}$=0.189, t=3.119, p=0.002). These results can provide a basic data to enhance the consciousness of biomedical ethics and establish a educational program of biomedical ethics for nursing students.

This study problematizes the youth‘s politico-cultural process of identification as becoming in the context of candle demonstration in Seoul, 2008. We examine their ethical subjectivity, communicative subjectivity and political subjectivity based on our analysis of depth interviews of teenage activists in the candle demonstrations. It is suggested that instead of naming the teens as the historical consequence of so-called 386 generation, or social product in the neo-liberal economic and educational conditions, we need to understand the complexities and dynamics of the youth’s practice of identity politics: subjective pain and anxiety in daily life, creation and sharing of pleasure and fun of peer group comunication are mixed into the pursuit of justice in their social activation of generation/gender politics.
