Programme details
How will our “learning” and “play” change in the age of AI as technology evolves?
In this session, moderator Yoichi Ochiai will use the keyword “hunter-gatherer nature” as a cue to raise questions about our primal intellectual desires and creative behaviors.
Panelists include experts in diverse fields such as education, AI research, interface design, and global learning practices.
They will discuss the essence of “learning while playing” and the possibilities of physicality and creativity in future learning.
*Simultaneous interpretation is available in both English and Japanese. Please bring a smartphone, tablet or other internet-enabled device with earphones to listen.
