초록

This study analyzes the relationship between artificial intelligence robots and humans not from the perspective of ontological identity, but through the relational contexts formed within the concrete practice of care. Focusing on Yoon Lee-hyung's “Danny,” Kim Hye-jin's “TRS is Taking Care,” and Lee Kyung's “In the Name of Wittgenstein,” this research examines the possibilities of human-robot relationships that persist even when complete empathy is impossible. “Danny” and “In the Name of Wittgenstein” depict how humans and robots create relational meaning by sharing time in caregiving, despite the limits of mutual understanding. “TRS is Taking Care” critically portrays the ethical vacuum created by the technological delegation of care responsibilities. Drawing on Katherine Hayles' concepts of ‘cognitive nonconscious’ and ‘cognitive assemblage,’ this study analyzes human-robot relationships from the perspective of construction through sustained practice and situational interaction rather than emotional identification. This research demonstrates that the impossibility of complete empathy can serve as a starting point for new ethical relationships. Humans and robots interact in their respective ways to form relational meaning. The literary imagination exhibited by Korean science fiction is significant in that it presents alternative care ethics beyond technological determinism and the possibility of coexistence in the post-human era.
