The Reality of Generative AI Utilization from an Educational Perspective
— Learning Wavering Between AI Literacy and Cognitive Offloading —
While the use of generative AI in educational settings is rapidly expanding, many educators struggle with the dilemma of whether AI should support thinking or take over entirely. This lecture will re-examine the relationship between fostering AI literacy and cognitive offloading, based on the real situations observed through nationwide support as an MEXT School DX Strategy Advisor, and the reality of children who are more adept at using AI than adults. Furthermore, while touching upon changes in children's learning and specific challenges on site, it will clarify the difference between utilizing AI to deepen thinking and to superficialize it, proposing ideal lesson designs and the future direction of educational AI.

'Inquiry Navigator': A Method for Fostering Proactiveness in the Age of AI
In the AI era, raising individuals by teaching knowledge and correct answers is no longer effective. At schools, companies, and homes, the question is 'how to nurture individuals who can proactively pose questions and act independently.' The 'Inquiry Navigator' proposed by the Japan Organization for Inquiry Promotion is a development method that ignites young people's curiosity and draws out their proactiveness. Instead of providing answers, it creates an environment that generates questions. This approach will be presented.

Nurturing Self-Thinking Individuals! Revealing AI Utilization Cases and Know-how in Education for Talent Development
Although the adoption rate of AI in schools is still low, support for thinking, individualized optimization, and inquiry learning are progressing. However, the essence is not mere efficiency. The very structure of human 'thinking,' 'learning,' and 'decision-making' is beginning to change. This session will discuss the potential for transferring AI utilization cases from educational settings to corporate talent development. Does AI nurture talent, or does it redesign human cognitive structures? From Interop, a technology-driven venue, we will redefine the future of talent development.
