● Introduction to examples of AI utilization in public education in Japan

2) The working group will discuss and consolidate specific measures based on the discussions held so far.

(Discussion Points)
● Although pilot projects are underway to utilize educational data, their adoption has not yet been sufficiently widespread, and it is difficult to say that adequate consideration is being given to student privacy.
● With the widespread adoption of AI, it has become necessary to conduct a multifaceted examination of issues such as what should be taught in public education and what new forms of literacy will be required.
● We need to investigate and discuss how other countries are addressing the use of AI in educational settings and determining what should be taught in public education.
