제4차 산업혁명시대 인공지능의 의사결정과 인격권 보장

Abstract

The key word in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution is definitely AI(Artificial Intelligence). Artificial intelligence's decision based on big data increases the efficiency of work processing by quickly reviewing a large amount of data and reducing time and cost. As a result, artificial intelligence technology has begun to be used in all areas of society, and it is expected to be an anti-corruption policy tool against hiring-related corruption and irregularities that raise doubts about trust and process. However, if there is no proper control over artificial intelligence, artificial intelligence can rather strengthen prejudice and infringe on job seekers' personal information. This is because the data based on artificial intelligence's decisions have been accumulated for a long time, so discrimination and prejudice against race, gender, or certain groups in the past can be revealed or reflected in algorithm design. Moreover, since artificial intelligence's decision-making process is difficult to present procedures and grounds that can be generally understood through self-learning, there is a situation in which humans have to accept machine decisions as they are in a difficult state to refute or correct. Therefore, while maximizing the utility of high-tech technology, it is necessary to find a way to use artificial intelligence without damaging human dignity and value.
 As a way to guarantee the personal rights of artificial intelligence's decision-making, the exclusive decision of artificial intelligence should be limited by referring to the European Personal Information Protection Regulations and the final decision authority should be placed on humans. In addition, it is necessary to set guidelines based on careful analysis by audit agencies, the government, ethics committees, and psychological experts for legal and ethical problems that arise in the hiring process using artificial intelligence. It is more urgent to prepare effective specific procedures to prevent and monitor the risks of technology. As the hiring process is the first step in getting a job, which is a means of self-realization, evaluation according to equality of opportunities and job competency is important. We hope that practical and balanced clear laws will be created through intense discussions by legal, philosophical and technical experts. The most important proposition is that artificial intelligence is a tool that helps humans make decisions, and its ethics always depend on the person who makes the tool.
