This paper aims to present John Dewey's empiricist educational philosophy and then critically examine the current AI education system in South Korea to suggest developmental directions. John Dewey saw the ideal democratic society as one in which community members lead a life of continuous growth through education, and he emphasized the role of individual and world interaction in education. Current AI education is unbalanced in terms of content, focusing only on the usefulness of the technology itself, and in terms of methodology, lacking in connection with other subjects and failing to create an environment where students can experience sufficient interaction. Based on these problems, this paper analyzes the current public education system for artificial intelligence and suggests development directions for holistic AI education.
