The guidelines released Tuesday by the education ministry about the use of artificial intelligence in schools highlighted many risks while also illustrating ways to use it.
The Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Ministry stated in the guidelines that AI tools would initially be used on a limited basis, but some schools that have already begun trials have reported cases of inappropriate use. Experts warn that casual use of the technology could hinder children's cognitive abilities.
Nagasaki Prefectural Nagasaki Kita High School has been experimenting since June with the use of ChatGPT in its English classes for second-year students, using it to correct their writing.
