Learning of Tomorrow [Announcement] “The Power to Make Your Own Decisions: Thriving in an AI Era with No Right Answers — NTT and TBS Take on the Next Generation of Edutainment with the ‘e6 Project’” For our online symposium on Wednesday, June 10, we are pleased to welcome Mr. Kuniharu Suzuki, e6 Project Leader at NTT Corporation and President of X-Tech Bridge (CrossTech Bridge).
In an era when children ask AI for the correct answers, what does “learning” actually mean?
The spread of generative AI is prompting a reexamination of the very nature of education.
The “e6 Project,” a joint initiative by NTT and TBS, is a next-generation edutainment project born from this question.
NTT, which has been integrating technology into society, and TBS, which has been touching people’s hearts through storytelling.
The two companies share the hypothesis that the “ability to make one’s own decisions” cannot be fully developed simply by teaching it as knowledge, but rather is nurtured through experience.
In this project, we are pursuing two parallel initiatives: the creation of original IP and a “theme park concept” that brings that world to life through immersive experiences.
We aim to use the power of entertainment to provide children with the foundational experience of grappling with challenges, expressing themselves, and choosing their own futures alongside AI.
We will hear from Mr. Kuniharu Suzuki of NTT Corporation, who launched and leads the e6 project, about the issues that inspired the project, the details of the initiative, and its future prospects.
This session is recommended for anyone interested in education, talent development, and the practical implementation of new learning methods in the age of AI.
