Community Awareness Education in the Era of Artificial Intelligence: The Third Neighbor

We are living in the age of artificial intelligence(AI). In other words, our daily life is based on AI. At the same time, we are facing serious global warming issues, as known as the climate crisis. Against the backdrop, this study identified the necessity to explore educational tasks based on the global warming problems in the AI era. To this end, this study first explored the value of the times with regard to community awareness education under the theme of “Community Awareness Education in the Era of Artificial Intelligence: The Third Neighbor,” and explained that the emergence of AI is a product of coevolution of living things and minerals from a fundamental level. In other words, the history of evolution is the process of coevolution between living and non-living beings. Therefore, we need to go beyond various dichotomous worldviews; in this context, the existence of AI can be positioned as another neighbor, the third one in our lives. In addition, this study emphasized that, since we have entered the age of AI, humans should get out of the limited imagination of human intelligence. In this context, this study argued that it is necessary to discuss the direction for the development of AI as co-existing intelligence and suggested AI humanities based on this.
