[Announcement] “Education and AI in the Society 5.0 Era”

For the online symposium on Wednesday, August 2, we will be welcoming Mr. Hideyuki Nakajima, Chairman of the Board and President of Sapporo City University.

While generative AI—such as “ChatGPT”—holds great potential for various applications in the field of education, some educational institutions are restricting its use due to its advanced capabilities, leading to a wide range of opinions on the matter. In an era where existing jobs are predicted to be replaced by AI and machines, what kind of education will be necessary?

Professor Nakajima, who has been at the forefront of AI research in Japan for many years, will give a talk titled “Education and AI in the Society 5.0 Era.” We hope you will join us.
