This study infers what kind of difference between AI and human ‘thinking’ based on previous research data, and based on this, the purpose of this study is to set the perspective of social studies education on AI. First, if we compare the thinking of humans and AI, first, AI does not have free will based on self-consciousness. The subject of decision making is the self, but AI without self-consciousness cannot be regarded as the subject of decision making. Second, AI has no mind. A key factor influencing the decision-making process is the preference and satisfaction of the decision-making entity, and it can be inferred that AI without a mind cannot have decision-making drivers such as preference and satisfaction. Based on these discussions, the perspective of social studies education on AI is presented as follows. First, it should aim for a controllable AI. It is necessary to view the emergence and evolution of AI as a social phenomenon, and to maintain critical acceptance education on whether the goal and the trajectory pursued by citizens are the same. To this end, it is necessary to introduce various social issues related to AI into social studies classroom classes to provide a reflective learning experience where learners can ponder and discuss based on the intrinsic value of human beings. Second, AI should be accepted as a co-existence for humans. For this, it is necessary to understand and use AI training. It is necessary to challenge the education using various algorithms such as decision-making algorithm tree and K-means cluster algorithm in an unplugged way for social studies decision-making learning or concept learning. Furthermore, it is necessary to expand the horizon of social studies teaching-learning by attempting various teaching and learning designs using AI platforms.
