Purpose The purpose of this study was twofold. First, we wanted to understand the degree of AI involvement that users find objectionable by examining whether there is a difference in the quality of webtoon content perceived by users depending on the level of AI involvement in the creative process. Secondly, we wanted to find out how users evaluate the quality of webtoon content based on the presence or absence of an AI disclosure statement, and provide implications for the need for AI disclosure statements in the webtoon industry. Design/methodology/approach This study validated the research model by creating a 2 (generative AI intervention level: low/high) X 2 (AI utilisation notation: present/absent) experimental group and conducting an experiment in an online environment. Findings First, we found that the higher the level of AI involvement in webtoon creation, the lower the fun and artistic quality. Second, we found that webtoon content quality depends on the presence or absence of AI disclosure messages. In particular, the higher the level of AI involvement in webtoon creation, the more positive the effect of disclosing the use of creative AI on user perceptions. Third, we found that fun and artistic quality are the main variables that significantly affect webtoon satisfaction. This study can contribute to considering the scope of AI in webtoon creation in the future, and provides new implications by identifying differences in user perceptions based on whether AI is disclosed or not.

Due to COVID-19, the non-face-to-face content market is growing rapidly. However, most of the non-face-to-face content such as webtoons and web novels are produced based on the traditional culture of other countries, not Korean traditional culture. The biggest cause of this situation is the lack of reference materials for creating based on Korean traditional culture. Therefore, the need for materials on traditional Korean culture that can be used for content creation is emerging. In this paper, we propose a generation model of source data based on traditional folk paintings through the fusion of traditional Korean folk paintings and AI technology. The proposed model secures basic data based on folk tales, analyzes the style and characteristics of folk tales, and converts historical backgrounds and various stories related to folk tales into data. In addition, using the built data, various new stories are created based on AI technology. The proposed model is highly utilized in that it provides a foundation for new creation based on Korean traditional folk painting and AI technology.

A meatadata has become an essential element in order to recommend video content to users. However, it is passively generated by video content providers. In the paper, a method for automatically generating metadata was studied in the existing manual metadata input method. In addition to the method of extracting emotion tags in the previous study, a study was conducted on a method for automatically generating metadata for genre and country of production through movie audio. The genre was extracted from the audio spectrogram using the ResNet34 artificial neural network model, a transfer learning model, and the language of the speaker in the movie was detected through speech recognition. Through this, it was possible to confirm the possibility of automatically generating metadata through artificial intelligence.

Currently, we stand between computers as creative tools and computers as creators. A new genre of movies, which can be called a post-cinema situation, is emerging. This paper aims to diagnose the possibility of the emergence of AI cinema. To confirm the possibility of AI cinema, it was examined through a case study whether the creation of a story, narrative, image, and sound, which are necessary conditions for film creation, is possible by artificial intelligence. First, we checked the visual creation of AI painting algorithms Obvious, GAN, and CAN. Second, AI music has already entered the distribution stage in the market in cooperation with humans. Third, AI can already complete drama scripts, and automatic scenario creation programs using big data are also gaining popularity. That said, we confirmed that the filmmaking requirements could be met with AI algorithms. From the perspective of Manovich's 'AI Genre Convention', web documentaries and desktop documentaries, typical trends post-cinema, can be said to be representative genres that can be expected as AI cinemas. The conditions for AI, web documentaries and desktop documentaries to exist are the same. This article suggests a new path for the media of the 4th Industrial Revolution era through research on AI as a creator of post-cinema.

최근 대화형 AI와 생성형 AI의 폭발적인 성장과 현실화로 인해, 한 때 온세상을 떠들썩 하게 했던 메타버스와 블록체인 기술은 잊혀지고 있다. 하지만 메타버스는 필연적으로 Web 3.0 시대의 대표적인 플랫폼으로 흘러갈 것이며, 블록체인 기술은 디지털 경제 생태계의 핵심 기술임에 틀림이 없을 것이다. 언제가 될지는 모르지만 다시금 메타버스가 세상을 혁명적으로 변화 시키는 그 때를 염두에 두며, 메타버스 시스템에서 사용되는 블록체인 기술의 현황을 살펴보고 그리 멀지 않은 미래에서의 모습도 전망해 본다.

In an environment where English is a foreign language, English learners can use AI voice chatbots in English-speaking practice activities to enhance their speaking motivation, provide opportunities for communication practice, and improve their English speaking ability. In this study, we propose a teaching-style AI voice chatbot that can be easily utilized by lower elementary school students and enhance their learning. To apply the Teachable Agent system to language learning, which is an activity based on tense, context, and memory, we proposed a new method of TA by applying the Teachable Agent to reflect the learner's English pronunciation and level and generate the agent's answers according to the learner's errors and implemented a Teachable Agent AI chatbot prototype. We conducted usability evaluations with actual elementary English teachers and elementary school students to demonstrate learning effects. The results of this study can be applied to motivate students who are not interested in learning or elementary school students to voluntarily participate in learning through role-switching.

This paper introduces a Statecharts-based progressive behavior LOD model for computer games and virtual reality systems. In order to use computing resources efficiently and generate an LOD model having arbitrary complexity, we defined a progressive behavior LOD model which including a Statecharts-based specification process, refinement operations, a switching policy, and an LOD selection policy. Additionally, in order to show the possibility of the proposed approach, we demonstrate an example of progressive LOD models by illustrating a step-by-step design of a virtual vehicle.

The objects real time rendered in the 3D cyber space can interact with each others according to the events which are happened when satisfying some conditions. But to representing the behaviors with these interactions, too many event conditions are considered because each behavior pattern and event must be corresponded in a one-to-one ratio. It leads to problems which increase the system complexity. So, in this paper, we try to physical method based on elasticity force for representing more realistic behaviors of AI fish and apply to the deformable multi-detection sensor, so we suggest the new method which can create the various behavior patterns responding to one evasion event.
