제4차 산업혁명 인공지능(AI)에 대한 미래교회 대응방안 연구

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to present countermeasures for the church of the next generation in view of the unimaginable innovation in human society trigger by Artificial Intelligence that emerges as the core of the Fourth Industrial Revolution Era. With Artificial Intelligence creating creative information on its own, the church should also urgently prepare for it. This study aims to provide and prepare for a new pastoral paradigm with an outlook for the future church to critically analyze and engage in the Artificial Intelligence that even takes the place of preaching. The Fourth Industrial Revolution is expected to be faster and more innovative than any other Revolution in the past, which we have experienced. The three big technologies that will lead the Fourth Industrial Revolution are: the Technology of Physics, Digital Technology and Biology. These technologies signal that over time it will permeate every object, industry and country and will require innovative and comprehensive changes throughout humankind. AI robots have gone beyond industrial or service robots. They are being developed into emotional robots that can communicate and share emotions with humans. We are moving toward an era of coexistence in which humanoid or human robots and humans live together. Social consensus for good robots along with Christian and ethical programs are urgently required. A survey on the use of AI robots has been conducted to examine the awareness of Christians and the public. The total of 601(six hundred and one) respondents were analyzed. The respondents of future generation in their teens and 20s were studied and the views of lay believers and pastors were analyzed by separating their positions. In particular, the analysis of responses from younger generations and pastors is expected to have a significant impact on future churches. The measures for the use of Artificial Intelligence in church were examined in a positive aspect. First, this study considered what is available in the area of worship and church education. Specifically, it will help to understand how it could be applied through a hypothetical scenario in which an AI robot guides the worship service at a deathbed. In addition, it suggested the need for research and investment to utilized Artificial Intelligence and stressed the need to create a good robot with Christian ethics on it by establishing future church trends and developing programs to be mounted on AI robots. Now the church must prepare for the future. We should look at the age of Super-Artificial Intelligence in a positive light and prepare for it. We should prepare for future church trends, establish big data for Christianity and spur the development of programs to be installed in Artificial Intelligence. A positive and active attitude toward the Fourth Industrial Revolution and Artificial Intelligence will rather be a new opportunity for the expansion of the gospel.
