With the recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), the performance of deep learning-based audio deepfake technology has significantly improved. This technology has been exploited for criminal activities, leading to various cases of victimization. To prevent such illicit outcomes, this paper proposes a deep learning-based audio deepfake detection model. In this study, we propose CoNSIST, an improved audio deepfake detection model, which incorporates three additional components into the graph-based end-to-end model AASIST: (i) Squeeze and Excitation, (ii) Positional Encoding, and (iii) Reformulated HS-GAL, This incorporation is expected to enable more effective feature extraction, elimination of unnecessary operations, and consideration of more diverse information, thereby improving the performance of the original AASIST. The results of multiple experiments indicate that CoNSIST has enhanced the performance of audio deepfake detection compared to existing models.

Sasang constitutional medicine (SCM) is one of the best traditional therapeutic approaches used in Korea. SCM prioritizes personalized treatment that considers the unique constitution of an individual and encompasses their physical characteristics, personality traits, and susceptibility to specific diseases. Facial features are essential for diagnosing Sasang constitutional types (SCTs). This study aimed to develop a real-time artificial intelligence-based model for diagnosing SCTs using facial images, building an SCTs prediction model based on a machine learning method. Facial features from all images were extracted to develop this model using feature engineering and machine learning techniques. The fusion of these features was used to train the AI model. We used four machine learning algorithms, namely, random forest (RF), multilayer perceptron (MLP), gradient boosting machine (GBM), and extreme gradient boosting (XGB), to investigate SCTs. The GBM outperformed all the other models. The highest accuracy achieved in the experiment was 81%, indicating the robustness of the proposed model and suitability for real-time applications.

In this paper, we present the design of modular replaceable AI server for image deep learning that separates the server from the Edge Device so as to drive the AI block and the method of data transmission and reception. The modular replaceable AI server for image deep learning can reduce the dependency between social robots and edge devices where the robot's platform will be operated to improve drive stability. When a user requests a function from an AI server for interaction with a social robot, modular functions can be used to return only the results. Modular functions in AI servers can be easily maintained and changed by each module by the server manager. Compared to existing server systems, modular replaceable AI servers produce more efficient performance in terms of server maintenance and scale differences in the programs performed. Through this, more diverse image deep learning can be included in robot scenarios that allow human-robot interaction, and more efficient performance can be achieved when applied to AI servers for image deep learning in addition to robot platforms.

The understanding and capability to utilize artificial intelligence (AI) incorporated technology has become a required basic skillset for the people living in today's information age, and various members of the university have also increasingly become aware of the need for AI education. Amidst such shifting societal demands, both domestic and international university libraries have recognized the users' need for educational content centered on AI, but a user-centered service that aims to provide personalized recommendations of digital AI educational content is yet to become available. It is critical while the demand for AI education amongst university students is progressively growing that university libraries acquire a clear understanding of user intention towards an AI educational content recommender system and the potential factors contributing to its success. This study intended to ascertain the factors affecting acceptance of such system, using the Extended Technology Acceptance Model with added variables - innovativeness, self-efficacy, social influence, system quality and task-technology fit - in addition to perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and intention to use. Quantitative research was conducted via online research surveys for university students, and quantitative research was conducted through written interviews of university librarians. Results show that all groups, regardless of gender, year, or major, have the intention to use the AI-related Educational Content Recommendation System, with the task suitability factor being the most dominant variant to affect use intention. University librarians have also expressed agreement about the necessity of the recommendation system, and presented budget and content quality issues as realistic restrictions of the aforementioned system.

Literacy initially referred to the ability to read and understand written documents and processed information. With the advancement of digital technology, the scope of literacy expanded to include the access and use of digital information, evolving into the concept of digital literacy. The application and purpose of digital literacy vary across different fields, leading to the use of various terminologies. This study focuses on generative artificial intelligence (AI), which is gaining increasing importance in the AI era, to assess users' literacy levels. The research aimed to extend the concept of literacy proposed in previous studies and develop a tool suitable for Korean users. Through exploratory factor analysis, we identified that generative AI literacy consists of four factors: AI utilization ability, critical evaluation, ethical use, and creative application. Subsequently, confirmatory factor analysis validated the statistical appropriateness of the model structure composed of these four factors. Additionally, correlation analyses between the newly developed literacy tool and existing AI literacy scales and AI service evaluation tools revealed significant relationships, confirming the validity of the tool. Finally, the implications, limitations, and directions for future research are discussed.

Conversational AI which allows users to interact with satisfaction is a long-standing research topic. To develop conversational AI, it is necessary to build training data that reflects real conversations between people, but current Korean datasets are not in question-answer format or use honorifics, making it difficult for users to feel closeness. In this paper, we propose a conversation dataset (KOMUChat) consisting of 30,767 question-answer sentence pairs collected from online communities. The question-answer pairs were collected from post titles and first comments of love and relationship counsel boards used by men and women. In addition, we removed abuse records through automatic and manual cleansing to build high quality dataset. To verify the validity of KOMUChat, we compared and analyzed the result of generative language model learning KOMUChat and benchmark dataset. The results showed that our dataset outperformed the benchmark dataset in terms of answer appropriateness, user satisfaction, and fulfillment of conversational AI goals. The dataset is the largest open-source single turn text data presented so far and it has the significance of building a more friendly Korean dataset by reflecting the text styles of the online community.

With the diffusion of digital innovation, the adoption of innovative medical technologies based on artificial intelligence is increasing in the medical field. This is driving the launch and adoption of AI-based SaMD(Software as a Medical Device), but there is a lack of research on the factors that influence the adoption of SaMD by medical institutions. The purpose of this study is to identify key factors that influence medical institutions' decisions to adopt AI-based SaMDs, and to analyze the weights and priorities of these factors. For this purpose, we conducted Delphi surveys based on the results of literature studies on technology acceptance models in healthcare industry, medical AI and SaMD, and developed a research model by combining HOTE(Human, Organization, Technology and Environment) framework and HABIO(Holistic Approach {Business, Information, Organizational}) framework. Based on the research model with 5 main criteria and 22 sub-criteria, we conducted an AHP(Analytical Hierarchy Process) analysis among the experts from domestic medical institutions and SaMD providers to empirically analyze SaMD adoption factors. The results of this study showed that the priority of the main criteria for determining the adoption of AI-based SaMD was in the order of technical factors, economic factors, human factors, organizational factors, and environmental factors. The priority of sub-criteria was in the order of reliability, cost reduction, medical staff's acceptance, safety, top management's support, security, and licensing & regulatory levels. Specifically, technical factors such as reliability, safety, and security were found to be the most important factors for SaMD adoption. In addition, the comparisons and analyses of the weights and priorities of each group showed that the weights and priorities of SaMD adoption factors varied by type of institution, type of medical institution, and type of job in the medical institution.
