Exploring the Trends and Challenges of Artificial Intelligence Education through the Analysis of Newspapers in Korea, 1991-2020: A topic-modeling approach

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Artificial intelligence (AI), an essential skill of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, is being actively taught in higher education; however, AI education is only in the preparatory stage in elementary, middle, and high schools. Investigating various newspaper articles related to AI education to date can aid in basic data collection, which is an important process in the preparatory stage. Accordingly, 13,378 newspaper articles were collected from a total of 21 newspapers, and five topics were extracted using the latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA)-based topic model along with frequency analysis. Newspaper articles from the early 2000s expanded to technologies related to the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Accordingly, education in AI fields should be linked with education in AI-based technology. In addition, efforts should be made to secure the continuity and sequence of AI education in cooperation with related higher institutions and companies.
