자연어처리에서 데이터는 굉장히 많은 부분을 차지하고 중요한 역할이지만, 데이터로 인한 윤리적 이슈 또한 많이 나타난다. 본 연구는 자연어처리에서의 데이터 흐름의 과정에서 나타날 수 있는 윤리적 이슈를 단계별로 정리하였다. 이는 복잡한 자연어처리 과정의 특성과 자연어처리 분야에서 나타나는 상황을 모두 고려한 것이다. 또한 단계별로 정리한 이슈를 토대로 자연어처리가 더 나은 방향으로 나아가기 위한 데이터 관점에서의 미래 방향을 제시하였다.

The purpose of this study is to provide basic data for developing future ethics education programs by surveying healthcare providers working at institutions of various sizes, using Ethical Issues in Clinical Practice tool. Data were collected from 149 healthcare providers working at medical institutions in G-do. Analysis was done using t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficient, and Multiple regression with IBM SPSS WIN/21.0. Needs for ethics education was inversely correlated to end-of-life treatment issues (r=-.22, p=.007) and patient care issues (r=-.28, p<.001). The most influential factor on the subjects' needs for ethics education was patient care issues (β=-.246, p=.035), followed by Buddhism (β=.208, p=.010). The explanatory power was 13.4% (F=5.596, p<.001). Therefore, when organizing the contents of ethics education program, patient care issues should be included to meet the needs of the subjects. Also, a customized program regarding the subjects' religion is necessary.

This article explores some of the ethical issues associated with the fourth industrial revolution and suggests new directions for bioethics education in Korean universities. Some countries have recently developed guidelines and regulations based on the legal and ethical considerations of the benefits and social risks of new technologies associated with the fourth industrial revolution. Foreign universities have also created courses (both classroom and online) that deal with these issues and help to ensure that these new technologies are developed in an ethically appropriate fashion. In South Korea too there have been attempts to enhance bioethics education to meet the changing demands of society. However, bioethics education in Korea remains focused on traditional bioethical topics and largely neglects the ethical issues related to emerging technologies. Furthermore, Korean universities offer no online courses in bioethics and the classroom courses that do exist are generally treated as electives. In order to improve bioethics education in Korean universities, we suggest that (a) new course should be developed for interprofessional education; (b) courses in bioethics should be treated as required subjects gradually; (c) online courses should be prepared, and (d) universities should continually revise course contents in response to the development of new technologies.

최근 사이버스페이스에서의 범죄가 큰 문제점으로 대두되고 있다. 사이버스페이스에서의 피해를 최소화하기 위해 관련법의 재정 및 개정이 필요하고, 법규 위반자에 대한 엄격한 법 집행이 요구되고 있지만, 사이버스페이스의 특성상 실효성이 약하기 때문에 시민의 자율성에 의존하는 사이버스페이스의 윤리를 강화하는 측면으로 추구해야 한다. 이런 논점에서 본 논문은 사이버스페이스 기술의 발달로 발생되고 있는 범죄의 종류, 법 적용의 범위 및 한계점, 사이버스페이스에서의 법적 규제와 윤리의 상관관계, 사이버스페이스의 질서를 형성 하기 위한 자율적인 윤리 통제의 중요성 등의 이슈들에 대해 고찰해 보았다. 또한 사이버스페이스의 건전한 윤리의식을 정착시키기 위해 가장 이상적인 이슈를 판가름하는 방법론을 제시하였다. 사이버스페이스를 하나의 신천지 즉 유토피아로 건설하기 위해 네티즌들 모두가 법적인 통제보다는 자율적인 윤리의식 함양으로 건전한 정보문화를 확립하고 사이버스페이스의 주인으로써 최선을 다해야 한다.

Artificial intelligence (AI) technology is rapidly spreading across various industries. Accordingly, interest in ethical issues arising from the use of AI is also increasing. This is particularly true in the healthcare sector, where AI-related ethical issues are a significant topic due to its focus on health and life. Hence, this issue aims to examine the ethical concerns when using AI tools during research and publication processes. One of the key concerns is the potential for unintended plagiarism when researchers use AI tools for tasks such as translation, citation, and editing. Currently, as AI is not given authorship, the researcher is held accountable for any ethical problems arising from using AI tools. Researchers are advised to specify which AI tools were used and how they were employed in their research papers. As more cases of ethical issues related to AI tools accumulate, it is expected that various guidelines will be developed. Therefore, researchers should stay informed about global consensus and guidelines regarding the use of AI tools in the research and publication process.

This study was conducted to find ways to utilize human-centered IT in caring for elderly people who live alone. Through focus group interviews with experts, this study investigated the problems with delivery system, and ethical issues. Problems such as lack of trust, supplier-centered care, and uniform service provision were derived as major problems in the delivery system. These findings indicate that IT should be used as an auxiliary means of face-to-face services and to be controllable and convenient. Issues such as "guaranteeing the right to self-determination," "protecting privacy," "sufficiently guaranteeing the right to know," and "encompassing blind spots" were raised as important ethical issues related to human-centered IT utilization. Based on the research results, this study presented the necessity of designing user-centered information technology and the necessity of developing ethical indicators for the use of human-centered technology.
