Abstract

The purpose of this study is to develop and validate a scale to measure the ethical awareness of users who accept artificial intelligence technology or service. To this end, the constructs and properties of AI ethics were identified through literature analysis on AI ethics. Reliability and validity were assessed through a preliminary survey(N=273), after conducting an open-type survey to men and women(N=133) in 10s to 70s nationwide, extracting the first questions, and reviewing them by experts. The results of an online survey conducted on men and women(N=500) were refined by confirmatory factor analysis. Finally, an AI technology ethics scale was developed. The AI technology ethics awareness scale was developed with 16 questions in total of 4 factors (transparency, safety, fairness, accountability) so that general awareness of ethics related to AI technology can be measured by detailed factors. In addition, through follow-up research, it will be possible to reveal the relationship with measurement variables in various fields by using the ethical awareness scale of artificial intelligence technology.

본 연구의 목적은 인공지능 기술 또는 서비스를 수용하는 사용자의 윤리성 인식을 측정하기 위한 척도 개발 및 타당화에 있다. 이를 위해 인공지능 윤리성 관련 문헌 분석을 통해 구성개념 및 속성을 확인하였다. 전국의 10대-70대 남녀 133명(개방형 설문:1차 문항), 273명(예비조사:2차 문항), 500명(본조사:최종 문항)을 대상으로 실시한 온라인 설문조사 결과를 확인적 요인분석에 의해 정제하여 최종적으로 인공지능기술 윤리성 척도를 개발하였다. 인공지능기술 윤리성 인식 척도는 총 4개 요인(투명성, 안전성, 공정성, 책임성) 16개 문항으로 개발하여 일반적인 인공지능기술 관련 윤리성 인식을 세부 요인별로 측정할 수 있도록 하였다. 개발된 척도를 활용하여 다양한 분야의 측정 변인들과의 관련성을 밝힐 수 있을 것이며, 인공지능기술 발전의 초기 단계에서 윤리성 인식을 높이기 위한 기초 데이터를 제공하는 데 중요한 역할을 할 것으로 기대한다.
