Technophobia is described as the 'abnormal fear or anxiety about the effects of advanced technology', affecting one third of the population, causing health problems and the inability to work efficiently. The development of the mobile phone, both in its design process and its following socioeconomic success, has a prominent effect on our society in general; this point will be explicated in this paper. The negative effects of these developments have also been assessed with questionnaire-based interviews, focus groups and media analysis in order to focus on those who are most susceptible to the effects of technophobia, to discover the possible causes and to develop a solution for overcoming the phobia. The findings of the literature review and empirical research have been debated; the results proved inconclusive. All age and sex and groups displayed levels of anxiety around technology. Therefore, designers cannot afford to abandon these individuals in the future, and attention should be directed into inclusive product design. Therefore, various solutions have been suggested for support for these sufferers, such as tuition and bespoke, 'built to specification' mobile phones.

The use of cultured meat, also known as in vitro meat, is claimed to be a way of meeting the growing demand for meat worldwide in a safe and disease-free manner, without sacrificing animal and lowering greenhouse gas emissions. However, its economic feasibility is limited by its cost, scale-up complexity, public neophobia and technophobia, and an imperfect knowledge of its impacts on human health. Cultured meat, which is obtained from stem cells using tissue engineering techniques, has been described as a potential alternative to the current meat production systems, which have extensive negative effects. To ensure that a food product is safe for human consumption, it is important to consider all aspects of its life cycle. In this context, the current review analyzes the major elements of the cultured meat life cycle, including the incorrect use of chemicals, such as pesticides or antibiotics, as well as improper processing and storage methods that determine the food safety of cultured meat. The purpose of this review is to determine food safety, health issues, and the potential risks associated with cultured meat production.

생성형 AI의 등장으로 AI는 인류와 본격적인 공존을 시작하였다. 방대한 데이터 기반의 AI 학습역량은 인간의 학습과는 다른 차원의 생산성으로 산업체에서 활용되고 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고 AI는 테크노포비아와 같은 어두운 이면의 사회적 현상도 보인다. AI에 대한 이해를 바탕으로 협업이 가능한 AI 모델을 분석하고 주얼리 산업에서 활용이 가능한 분야를 확인한다. 협업형 AI 모델을 활용하면 '아이디어 전개의 가속화', '디자인 역량의 강화', '생산성 강화' , '멀티모달 기능의 내재화' 등을 기대할 수 있다. 결국 AI는 협업이 가능한 도구적 관점에서 활용해야 하며, 이를 위해서는 주체성 있는 인간 중심의 마인드 셋이 필요하다. 본 연구의 주얼리 비즈니스를 위한 AI 협업방안 제언을 통해 주얼리 산업의 경쟁력 강화에 도움이 되기를 바란다.
