Abstract  

This study discusses AI competencies including AI ethics principles, which are required for the development of AI technology, in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. As AI technology develops, various curricula of countries around the world are adopting it. This study analyzed AI capabilities and the forms of AI ethics principles being established along with those capabilities in each country. In many countries around the world, the AI curriculum is being introduced in two areas. The first is the capability to create excellent AI engineers, and the second addresses the capability of people who utilize AI, with regard to the impact of AI on society and AI’s ethical issues. Among them, the curricula of Korea and China are concentrated only on the ability to create AI engineers. This study makes the argument that it is necessary to introduce educational discussions on AI ethics and the capabilities to utilize AI. It also suggests that AI principles created in Korea in December 2021 should be adopted into the Korean curriculum, given the need to include the social context when developing a curriculum. Furthermore, this study defined three capability factors and provides an example of a curriculum based on the analysis of three principles and 10 key elements of AI ethical standards. It is expected to contribute to basic research when introducing an AI ethics curriculum into school subjects in the future.
