◆Use of fumbling generation AI◆
Generative AI, including ChatGPT, which shocked the world, developed rapidly and became popular in an instant. On the other hand, various risks have also been pointed out, including the leakage of personal information, copyright infringement, and the spread of false information. Although generative AI is expected to bring about major changes in educational settings, its use is still being debated within society as a whole, with discussions aimed at forming international rules regarding generative AI at the G7 held in September. It’s in the middle of. Regarding the use of generative AI in educational settings, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology announced guidelines for generative AI in schools in July 2023 (*1). While stating that this is a provisional summary, it points out the general risks of using generative AI in schools, but also states that it is important to develop the ability to use it properly, and strengthens the development of information utilization abilities, including information morals. are listed. The smartphone ownership rate among junior high school students now exceeds 90%. Is it no longer possible to keep the generated AI away from children who use digital devices every day and let them spend their daily lives, or to ignore its existence and proceed with learning? Although consideration must be given to compliance with regulations and ethics, it is hoped that the hurdles in educational settings will be removed at an early stage and the use of generative AI in school education will progress. *1 Temporary guidelines for the use of generative AI at the elementary and secondary education level
https://www.mext.go.jp/content/20230710-mxt_shuukyo02-000030823_003.pdf ◆Use of generative AI in school education◆
According to a survey conducted in October by Professor Fujikawa of Chiba University’s Faculty of Education regarding examples of the use of generative AI in school education, there were only 35 cases of use of generative AI in classes and school affairs, including use of traceable media. Since then, there has been no significant increase in the number of cases. As pointed out in the guidelines, statements such as “take the development of the students using it into account” and “determine whether the use of generative AI will not impede their qualifications and abilities, and whether it is effective in situations where it can be used”, etc. While there are few advanced examples of this, I think there is some anxiety and confusion in educational settings where it is up to them to decide what concrete considerations to take into account when deciding whether or not to use it. Additionally, although several services are available for the use of generated AI, age restrictions require that students of school age be 13 years of age or older or have the consent of a parent or guardian. For this reason, compared to the rapid spread of AI in society, the use of generative AI in school education has not progressed. As you can see, there are currently restrictions on how children can utilize generative AI, but there is no doubt that if its use advances, it will lead to better learning. If children can easily use it in the future, it will be used more easily in the future, such as finding missing points of view in the process of generating ideas and deepening discussions, and using it as a partner in English conversation. On the other hand, teachers have no restrictions on the use of generative AI. Generative AI is a powerful means of reducing the workload of teachers. By providing basic conditions, it is possible to easily and quickly generate sentences for parents and students. For foreign students and their parents, we can translate them into the respective languages, and when creating test questions, we can instantly create problems such as arithmetic calculation problems. In this study group, we will discuss the use of generative AI, which can no longer be avoided, with an eye to the future, how we can enrich children’s educational activities, and how school education should respond, including its use in school affairs. .

Thoughts on the 20th anniversary event of the Corporate Education Research Group This project invites top runners from industry, government, and academia to hold sessions on seven themes throughout the year. As school education reform is needed to respond to changes in society, this session will hear opinions from specialists in industry, government, and academia on urgent issues in the education world, and will also incorporate the opinions of the participants. A panel discussion will be held. Through these sessions, we hope to deepen our common understanding of education in Japan, share it with many people, and use it as an opportunity to imagine a new way of education. As ACE celebrates its 20th anniversary, we strongly feel that society and the educational world are entering a period of major change. It is precisely in these times that we will continue to boldly take on the challenge of further deepening collaboration between industry, government, and academia, and updating Japanese education. We will disseminate these thoughts and actions from Chiba to all over Japan. No matter your position, please join us in building the future of education in Japan.
