As AI technology evolves rapidly, its use in educational settings is expanding. While there are various benefits to its application, there are also concerns. Against this backdrop, in July 2023, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) published the “Provisional Guidelines on the Use of Generative AI in Elementary and Secondary Education.”These guidelines were compiled as a reference for school officials to make informed decisions regarding the use of generative AI, based on government discussions, insights shared at the G7 Education Ministers’ Meeting, and input from experts and the Central Council for Education.
He will explain the purpose of these guidelines and how they are applied in practice. We hope you will join us.
