The key to digital transformation lies in connectivity and data.
Advances in mobile network technology have ushered in an era of hyperconnectivity, creating a new technological environment that connects people and things in real time. Advances in AI and computer technology have enabled massive, real-time data analysis and processing, laying the technological foundation for the era of digital transformation (Joo Young-seop, 2022).
The digital transformation is particularly important in the cultural and artistic fields, as it serves as the foundation for fundamentally restructuring the relationship between creators and audiences and the distribution methods of works.

The emergence of AI poets and novelists opens up new possibilities for literary creation.
Of course, it is currently difficult for AI to completely reproduce the deep insights and emotions of human writers.
However, it does a good job of serving as a useful 'assistant tool', providing creative ideas, drafting, and helping with repetitive sentence generation.
These technological advancements present challenges that must be addressed. Ethical issues such as copyright in AI creations, criteria for determining originality, and the difficulty of verifying plagiarism are constantly being raised.

Along with the Getty Images lawsuit, several prominent illustrators have also filed class-action lawsuits against AI companies.

These legal battles demonstrate how complex copyright issues are in the AI ​​era.
Ultimately, finding a balance between protecting the rights of human creators and technological innovation is one of the most difficult ethical challenges facing our time.
