The cultural role and legal challenges in the fourth industrial revolution and artificial intelligence era

Abstract

Today is the age of the 4th industrial revolution and the AI by the development of the science and the technology. In such change of age, the culture and law should find new measures and roles to respond to such changes. This study presumes that the meaning of culture expands to diverse concepts in the society. In the analysis of social phenomenon, the consensus of social members and the practice including the cultural ideology are important. Therefore, the interdisciplinary considerations beyond the science or law will be proposed. In the age of 4th industrial revolution, the data and the idea will be the source of core competition, and the law should support them. However, the social system exemplified with the law promotes the development of the science and the technology but paradoxically, it includes more strict regulation. In the modern society where the technology is being developed and new inventions appear everyday, the culture and the law should be developed to fit to the age. In the age of 4th industrial revolution and AI, the crisis and the opportunity come simultaneously not only to the society but also to its members. To respond to that, the role of science culture, which is in the center of soft power, should be emphasized.
