The future battlefield is expected to be very different from what it is today because of the development of new technologies. In particular, it becomes difficult to predict the war's outcome as AI and robots, whose performance is improved, participate in the battlefield. Accordingly, major countries including the US and China regard AI as the key technology and game changer that changing national competitiveness and future wars. Therefore, they are concentrating their efforts at the national level to occupy advance related technologies and to develop AI weapon systems. For this reason, countries are preparing strategies and policies to defense AI, and are actively expanding infrastructure, such as establishing organizations. In Korea, Defense AI is also being promoted. But, it suffers from a lack of governance that manages and controls integrally. Nevertheless, a significant consensus is forming on the necessity of establishing a defense AI center. In this study, we analyzed the status of defense AI promotion in major foreign countries such as the US, UK, and Australia, and suggested some implications for the establishment of defense AI policies.

The rapid progress of AI technology gives us the expectation to solutions to various problems in our society, and at the same time, it gives us anxiety about the side effects that can occur if AI develops beyond human control. This study was conducted in the early 20s with less objection to advanced devices. We attempted to provide clues to understand thoughts and attitudes of the targets about the future environment that will be brought by AI through the process of finding intent the acceptance of strong AI technology. For this, we applied the Theory of Planned Behavior, and further expanded this research model to identify factors affecting the attitude toward AI. As a result, the attitude toward AI and perceived behavioral control had a significant effect on the intention to use to strong AI. In addition, we found that the expectation of the benefit of improving task performance and the anxiety on the threat of relationship disturbance had a significant effect on the attitude toward AI. This study suggests implications for AI-related companies establishing the direction of technology development and for government setting a policy direction for AI adoption.

With the advancement of AI technology, legal status and regulation issues for AI robots, and the necessity of a robot registration system are emerging. Since the shape and activity area of AI robots will no longer be limited to hardware in one country, the definition and regulation of AI robots should be expanded to a comprehensive concept including software, and information about them should be securely managed and shared by governments around the world. From this perspective, we extend 'AI robot' to the concept of Juridical AI encompassing hardware and software, and propose a method to operate the Juridical AI registration system using a permissioned blockchain called Juridical AI Chain. Since blockchain is an internationally distributed database, operating such AI registration system based on the blockchain will be a way to effectively cope with the global problems caused by the commercialization of AI robots.

In this paper, we propose a standard AI developer job training track based on industry needs. The characteristic of this curriculum is that it can minimize the mismatch of AI developer job competency between industries and universities. To develop an AI developer job training track, a survey will be conducted for AI developers working in industrial fields. In this survey, among the five NCS-based AI developer jobs, job analysis is conducted by deriving AI developer jobs with high demand for manpower in industrial fields. In job analysis, the core competency unit elements of the job are selected, and knowledge, skills, tools, etc. necessary to perform the core competency unit elements are derived. In addition, a standard AI developer job curriculum is developed by deriving core subjects and road-map that can educate knowledge, skills, tools, etc. In addition, we present an efficient AI developer job training method using the standard AI developer job training course proposed in this paper.

Despite the innovation of AI and Big Data, theoretical research bout the effect of AI and Big Data on market competition is still in early stages; therefore, this paper analyzes the effect of AI, Big Data, and data sharing on an entry firm by using game theory. In detail, the firms' business environments are divided into internal and external ones. Then, AI algorithms are divided into algorithms for (1) customer marketing, (2) cost reduction without automation, and (3) cost reduction with automation. Big Data is also divided into external and internal data. this study shows that the sharing of external data does not affect the incumbent firm's algorithms for consumer marketing while lessening the entry firm's entry barrier. Improving the incumbent firm's algorithms for cost reduction (with and without automation) and external data can be an entry barrier for the entry firm. These findings can be helpful (1) to analyze the effect of AI, Big Data, and data sharing on market structure, market competition, and firm behaviors and (2) to design policy for AI and Big Data.
