Tim Ingold’s “Commoning”]　

　Professor Katsumi Okuno of the School of Intercultural Communication at Rikkyo University will deliver a lecture
. Anthropologist Tim Ingold views
education not as the “transfer
of knowledge,” but as “an endeavor in which teachers and students place themselves within the world
and generate knowledge together while engaging with their environment.”Based on this anthropological perspective, we will explore the meaning and possibilities of “human learning”
in the age of AI
. https://lot.or.jp/report/15712/

　

[Event on December 4: The Future of Learning and AI]

　In today’s so-called “AI era,” how will the role

of networking and generative AI, to discuss the relationship
between learning and AI in the years to come.
