N2 - In this study, we proposed the use of case methods in AI ethics education in emerging technologies. To solve ethical problems related to the use of emerging technologies, it is indispensable to form a consensus on social implementation of new technologies, along with, understanding the technical characteristics and sharing moral and ethical views of the people who use the technologies. Case education provides an opportunity to touch on examples of concrete and practical ethical issues caused by the technologies especially in the recent times. It is also possible to understand the importance of building a social consensus from the perspectives of various problems and interactions with people with different ethical standards. In this study, we investigated how students understood cases and how they were influenced by the existence of diverse opinions by conducting questionnaire surveys before and after the case method education program on the ethical aspects of emerging technologies with AI. The result of the surveys showed the transformation of students’ way of thinking about AI ethical issues in emerging technologies and indicated the educational effects through the case method educational program.
