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.

다수결 원칙으로 결정될 사안이 아닌 '생명의 존엄성'이 '생명윤리 및 안전에 관한 법률'의 제정으로 흔들리고 있다. 인간배아복제는 난치병 환자들을 치료하기 위한 획기적인 방법으로 포장되고 있으나 결국은 한 인간을 수단으로 이용하는 생명파괴 행위일 뿐이다.

생물복제기술의 발달로 이젠 완전한 복제인간의 출현 가능성까지 내다보게 되었다. 이런 것들은 생명의 신비성과 존엄성을 바탕으로 형성된 인간의 전통적 가치관과 도덕관을 흔들어 큰 파문을 일으킬 것으로 전망된다. 선진국뿐만 아니라 우리나라도 이제 생명과학연구 및 활동에 대한 도덕적ㆍ사회적 문제에 직면하게 되었다.
