A Study on the Design of an AI Philosophy Curriculum

This study proposes a broadly applicable AI philosophy curriculum for universities. It first defines the meaning and characteristics of AI philosophy by examining the usage and significance of ethics, ethical theory, and philosophy in relation to AI discourse, and by clarifying the characteristic relationship between AI ethics and AI philosophy. Accordingly, an AI philosophy course is conceptualized as a form of philosophical ethics curriculum focused on AI-related phenomena. To support this conceptualization and to construct the course content in practice, existing AI-related ethics and philosophy courses at universities in South Korea are briefly reviewed, categorized by course provider, target students, and teaching methods. Based on this review, a curriculum model is designed, and its adaptability to different academic units and student levels is illustrated.
