Mingaku Inc. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Yuta Sato) will hold a free online seminar with an author talk on Tuesday, April 21, 2026, from 19:00, to commemorate the publication of the book "Home Learning Method with AI as the Ultimate Tutor for Middle & High School Students" (Nihon Jitsugyo Publishing).
In recent years, while the introduction of generative AI into educational settings has been rapidly progressing, concerns about "decline in thinking ability" and "risk of dependency" have also been growing. This seminar aims to re-examine the essence of AI utilization from a practical standpoint amidst such lively discussions.
In this seminar, Yuta Sato, who develops the education-focused AI platform "School AI," and Tomohiro Ikeda, a generative AI researcher who supports its introduction to companies and educational institutions, will take the stage. From both perspectives of the educational field and AI practice, they will discuss the changes in learning brought about by generative AI and practical application methods in a dialogue format.
This book systematizes how to use generative AI not as a "tool to get answers," but as a "learning partner" that draws out students' thinking abilities. It also includes specific prompt examples for all subjects and guidelines for safe use.
On the day, based on the book's content, they will discuss topics such as:
・Latest trends in generative AI and changes in the educational field
・The difference between "AI that robs thinking ability" and "AI that develops it"
・AI utilization based on scientific learning methods and practical examples
, all interwoven with the real-world knowledge of both speakers.
For educators and tutoring school staff, this is an opportunity to grasp the future of learning in the AI era in a concrete way and connect it to practical application in the field.
