Learning of Tomorrow [October 9] “Generative AI and Education: Insights from ‘Innovation Nippon 2024: Generative AI and Japan’” This week’s Learning of Tomorrow Online Symposium is titled “Generative AI and Education: Insights from Innovation Nippon 2024: ‘Generative AI and Japan.’”
We are pleased to welcome Associate Professor Shinichi Yamaguchi from GLOCOM at International University.
As part of the Innovation Nippon project, GLOCOM has published a report titled “Generative AI and Japan.”
This study examined how generative AI promotes innovation and brings positive social impacts in Japan; what risks are associated with generative AI and what negative impacts these risks may have on society; the actual state of generative AI usage; the level of understanding and literacy regarding generative AI;and the social acceptance of generative AI. Based on these findings, five implications were derived that will benefit the government, businesses, industry associations, and the general public.
At this symposium, Mr. Yamaguchi, who served as the project leader for the study, will deliver a presentation titled “Generative AI and Education: Insights from ‘Innovation Nippon 2024: Generative AI and Japan.’”
