Purpose: In the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, individuals equipped with fundamental understanding and practical skills in artificial intelligence (AI) are essential. This study aimed to validate the effectiveness of AI education for enhancing AI literacy among business major student. Research design, data and methodology: Data for analyzing the effectiveness of the AI Fundamental Education Program for business major students were collected through surveys conducted at the beginning and end of the semester. Structural equation modeling was employed to perform basic statistical analyses regarding gender, grade, and prior software (SW) education duration. To validate the effectiveness of AI education, seven variables - AI interest, AI perception, data analysis/utilization, AI projects, AI literacy, AI self-efficacy, and AI learning persistence - were defined and derived. Results: All seven operationally defined variables showed statistically significant positive changes. The average differences were observed as follows: 0.47 for AI interest, 0.32 for AI perception, 0.37 for data analysis/utilization, 0.27 for AI projects, 0.25 for AI literacy, 0.39 for AI self-efficacy, and 0.41 for AI learning persistence. Statistically, AI interest exhibited the most substantial average difference. Conclusions: Through this study, the applied AI education was confirmed to enhance learners' overall competencies in AI, proving its utility and effectiveness in AI literacy education for business major students. Future research endeavors should build upon these results, focusing on ongoing studies related to AI education programs tailored to learners from diverse academic backgrounds and conducting continuous efficacy evaluations.

Humanity faces the fourth industrial revolution, a time of technological revolution by the collaboration of various industries including the fields of artificial intelligence(AI) and big data. Many countries are focused on fostering AI talent to prevail in the coming technological revolution. While Korea also provides some strategies to enhance the cultivation of AI talent, it is still difficult for Korean undergraduate students to get involved in AI studies. Through on the implementation of 'Big data analysis based AI education', which allows an easier approach to AI education, this paper examined the changes in the attitudes of undergraduate students regarding general AI education. 'Big data analysis based AI education' was provided at undergraduate level for 5.5 weeks (15 hours). The attitudes of undergraduate students were analyzed by pre-postmortem. The results showed there was a significant improvement in confidence and self-directed in regard to receiving AI education. With these results, further active research to develop basic AI education that also increases confidence and self-initiative can be expected.

As the limitations of the passive recognition domain, which is not guaranteed transparency of the operation process, AI technology has a vulnerability that depends on the data. Human error is inherent because raw data for artificial intelligence learning must be processed and inspected manually to secure data quality for the advancement of AI learning. In this study, we examine the necessity of learning data management before machine learning by analyzing inaccurate cases of AI learning data and cyber security attack method through the approach from cyber security perspective. In order to verify the learning data integrity, this paper presents the direction of data-preserving artificial intelligence system, a blockchain-based learning data environment model. The proposed method is expected to prevent the threats such as cyber attack and data corruption in providing and using data in the open network for data processing and raw data collection.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to derive major policies that domestic small and medium-sized manufacturing companies should consider to maximize productivity and quality improvement by utilizing manufacturing data and AI, and to find priorities and implications. Methods: In this study, domestic and international issues and literature review by country were conducted to derive major considerations such as manufacturing AI technology, manufacturing AI talent, manufacturing AI data and manufacturing AI ecosystem. Additionally, the questionnaire survey targeting 46 experts of manufacturing data and AI industry were conducted. Finally, the major considerations and detailed factors importance were derived by applying the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). Results: As a result of the study, it was found that 'manufacturing AI technology', 'manufacturing AI talent', 'manufacturing AI data', and 'manufacturing AI ecosystem' exist as key considerations for domestic manufacturing AI. After empirical analysis, the importance of the four key considerations was found to be 'manufacturing AI ecosystem (0.272)', 'manufacturing AI data (0.265)', 'manufacturing AI technology (0.233)', and 'manufacturing AI talent (0.230)'. The importance of the derived four viewpoints is maintained at a similar level. In addition, looking at the detailed variables with the highest importance for each of the four perspectives, 'Best Practice', 'manufacturing data quality management regime, 'manufacturing data collection infrastructure', and 'manufacturing AI manpower level of solution providers' were found. Conclusion: For the sustainable growth of the domestic manufacturing AI ecosystem, it should be possible to develop and promote manufacturing AI policies in a balanced way by considering all four derived viewpoints. This paper is expected to be used as an effective guideline when developing policies for upgrading manufacturing through domestic manufacturing data and AI in the future.

As artificial intelligence gradually expands into jobs, iIt is necessary to nurture talents with AI literacy capabilities required for non-majors. Therefore, in this study, based on the necessity and current status of AI education, AI literacy competency improvement education was conducted for non-majors so that AI learning could be sustainable in relation to future majors. For non-majors at University D, problem-solving solutions through project-based data analysis and visualization were applied over 15 weeks, and the AI ability improvement and effectiveness of learners before and after education were analyzed and verified. As a result, it was possible to confirm a statistically significant level of positive change in the learners' data analysis and utilization ability, AI literacy ability, and AI self-efficacy. In particular, it not only improved the learners' ability to directly utilize public data to analyze and visualize it, but also improved their self-efficacy to solve problems by linking this with the use of AI.

The development of intelligent information technology based on intelligence and data and network technology implemented by artificial intelligence has instigated innovation in society as a whole and has shown wide social and economic impact. Therefore, not only overseas but also in Korea, AI education is in a hurry to cultivate talents who will lead the upcoming society. Data is an important part of artificial intelligence, and data literacy, which can collect, process, and analyze data, to make data-based decisions, can be seen as an important competency to be developed along with AI literacy. Therefore, in this study, an AI data science education program that can increase data literacy of elementary school students was developed and applied to the experimental group, and its effectiveness was verified through a pre- and post response sample t-test. As a result, all of the four detailed competencies of data literacy, data understanding, collection, analysis, and expression, showed statistically significant improvement, indicating that the AI data science education program was effective in improving students' data literacy.

Currently, the security control market is operating based on AI technology. The reason for using AI is to detect large amounts of logs and big data between security equipment, and to alleviate time and human problems. However, problems are still occurring in the application of AI. The security control market is responding to many problems other than the problems introduced in this paper, and this paper attempts to deal with five problems. We would like to consider problems that arise in applying AI technology to security control environments such as 'AI model selection', 'AI standardization problem', 'Big data accuracy', 'Security Control Big Data Accuracy and AI Reliability', 'responsibility material problem', and 'lack of AI validity.'
