Generation MZ, a generic term for millennials and members of Generation Z, is an innovation-leading consumer group in the current market. This study aimed to examine the impact of the ethical consumption tendencies of millennials and Generation Z on the purchase intention of social enterprise fashion products. Data were collected from Generation MZ (15-40 years old) by quota sampling based on the demographic variables of gender, age, and region, respectively. Eight hundred responses were analyzed by descriptive statistics, factor analysis, t-test, and regressions using SPSS software. Three value factors (egoistic, altruistic, and biospheric) and three ethical consumption tendency factors (resource saving tendency, eco-friendly tendency, and consciousness of corporate responsibility) were determined by factor analyses. The results confirmed that women, who showed a higher ethical consumption tendency in all three factors, were more altruistic and biospheric than men. Furthermore, women portrayed a more favorable attitude and purchase intention towards fashion products of social enterprises. The results demonstrated that members of Generation Z were more altruistic and biospheric than millennials. Additionally, the attitude, purchase intention, and willingness to pay premium prices were higher in Generation Z members. It was confirmed that higher biospheric values correlated with greater values for the three ethical consumption tendency factors. The altruistic value affected both the resource saving tendency and eco-friendly trend, while the egoistic value had an effect on the resource saving tendency. Both attitude and purchase intention were positively influenced by all three of the ethical consumption tendency factors, and affected the willingness to pay premium prices. This was subsequently influenced by the resource saving tendency and consciousness of corporate responsibility. The results of this study contribute to understanding Generation MZ as a consumer group, and the establishment of marketing strategies for fashion companies.

본 연구는 한국형 자율주행자동차 윤리 가이드라인 제정에 앞서, 제안된 윤리 가이드라인 초안을 구성하는 항목에 대한 중요도를 확인하고자 핵심 요소와 세부항목에 대한 설문조사 결과를 활용하여 계층화 분석을 수행하였다. 분석 결과, 인간의 존엄성과 생명을 최우선으로 보장해야함을 내포한 문항의 중요도가 높게 평가되었으며, 사고 발생을 미연에 방지하고 사고가 발생하였을 때 차량 이용자의 책임이 있어야한다는 중요도가 높게 평가되었다. 그러나 정부부처 및 관리자의 역할에 대해서는 중요도가 낮게 평가되었는데, 이는 법적 규제를 통한 무조건적인 규제 대신 개인의 영역을 존중하고 공공의 이익을 동시에 향유할 수 있는 방안을 도출할 필요가 있다는 의견으로 사료된다. 향후 자율주행자동차의 윤리 가이드라인의 제정을 위해서는 지속적인 의견수렴 및 항목의 보완과 함께 관련 교육 및 세미나 등을 통해 사회적 수용성을 확보할 수 있는 방안을 강구해야 할 것으로 판단된다.

기술철학은 20세기 전반에 철학의 한 분과로 자리를 잡으면서 한편으로는 기술시대에 인간의 자율성 회복을, 다른 한편으로는 보다 더 바람직한 기술 발전의 방향을 모색하였다. 본 논문은 기술철학의 논의 과정에서 공학자의 역할이 배제되어 왔다는 점에 주목하고, 기술사회의 문제에 대한 해법을 공학활동의 내부에서 찾아보자는 제안을 제출한다. 이 제안의 핵심은 기술철학이 공학설계와 공학자의 역할을 중요하게 생각해야한다는 것이다. 공학설계는 공학활동의 핵심이며 현대기술의 모습을 결정짓는 중요한 단계이다. 따라서 기술철학의 모든 논의들은 공학설계의 차원에서 재구성할 수 있다. 공학설계에 대한 탐구는 지금까지 도외시해 온 공학자의 역할에 대한 관심으로 이어질 수밖에 없다. 특히, 공학설계의 단계에서 윤리적 고려가 포함될 수 있으며, 포함되어야 한다는 점을 주장할 것이다. 이 주장은 공학자의 역할이 단순히 주어진 기술적 목표를 달성하는 것에 그치지 않고 기술사회의 바람직한 모습에 대한 숙고를 겸해야 한다는 함의를 가진다. 1장에서는 본 논의가 어떤 맥락에서 제기되는지를 밝히기 위해 현대 기술철학의 흐름을 인간의 자율성 회복과 지속가능성이라는 두 가지 지향점을 중심으로 요약할 것이다. 2장에서 기술철학에서 공학설계를 주요한 주제로 삼아야 한다는 본 논문의 제안을 제시하고, 그와 같은 시도의 장점을 상술할 것이다. 3장에서는 공학설계와 관련하여 산발적으로 제기된 여러 주장과 이론들을 한 데 묶어 검토함으로써 앞서 제시된 제안을 정당화할 것이다. 4장은 제안된 '윤리적 공학 설계'에 대해 제기될 수 있는 현실성 문제에 대한 검토이며, 5장에서는 본 제안이 현실화되기 위해 공학자들에게 요구되는 것이 무엇인지를 살펴볼 것이다.

Intelligence is thought to be related to interaction rather than a deep but passive thinking. Interactive tangible media "iT_Media" is proposed to explore these issues. Personal robotics is a major area to investigate these ideas. A new design methodology for personal and emotional robotics is proposed. Sciences of the artificial and intelligence have been investigated. A short history of artificial intelligence is presented in terms of logic, heuristic, and mobility; a science of intelligence is presented in terms of imitation and understanding; intelligence issues for robotics and intelligence measures are described. A design methodology for personal robots based on science of emotion is investigated. We investigate three different aspects of design: visceral, behavioral, reflective. We also discuss affect and emotion in robots, robots that sense emotion, robots that induce emotion in people, and implications and ethical issues of emotional robots. Personal robotics for the elderly seems to be a major area in which to explore these ideas.

Various artificial intelligence neural network models that have emerged since 2014 enable the creation of new content beyond the existing level of information discrimination and withdrawal, and the recent generative artificial intelligences such as ChatGPT and Gall-E2 create and present new information similar to actual data, enabling natural interaction because they create and provide verbal expressions similar to humans, unlike existing chatbots that simply present input content or search results. This study aims to present a model that can improve the ChatGPT communication skills of university students through curriculum research on ChatGPT, which can be participated by students from all departments, including engineering, humanities, society, health, welfare, art, tourism, management, and liberal arts. It is intended to design a way to strengthen competitiveness to embody the practical ability to solve problems through ethical attitudes, AI-related technologies, data management, and composition processes as knowledge necessary to perform tasks in the artificial intelligence era, away from simple use capabilities. It is believed that through creative education methods, it is possible to improve university awareness in companies and to seek industry-academia self-reliant courses.

Healthcare applications involve complex structures of interacting processes and professionals that need to exchange information to provide the care services. In this kind of systems many different professional competencies, ethical and sensibility requirements as well as legal frameworks coexist and because of that the information managed inside the system should not be freely accessed, on the contrary. it must be subject to very complex privacy restrictions. This is particularly critical in distributed systems, where additionally, security in remote transmissions must be ensured. In this paper, we address the fundamental security issues that must be considered in design of a distributed healthcare application.
