If you don't understand, just ask AI—. In an era where 'correct answers' are easily obtained, isn't the 'power to question' that leads to those answers what is truly needed? By engaging with it daily, you will unknowingly acquire the 'power to question.' It refines our thinking and offers a new perspective on the world. 'Shinchosha QUE' provides such an experience.
Shinchosha has decided to launch a flat-rate digital media (subscription service) that comprehensively features Shinchosha's non-fiction and humanities content, including Weekly Shincho.
The name is 'Shinchosha QUE.'
If you don't understand, just ask AI—. Our lives have been transformed by the spread of AI and social media.
If you search for something you're curious about and ask AI, you can quickly arrive at the 'correct answer.' However, AI doesn't tell us what 'questions' to input to derive that answer, or whether we should trust the 'correct answer' presented.
The theme of Shinchosha QUE is the 'power to question.' The 'speed' and 'convenience' of the world have further accelerated due to AI and social media. However, behind this 'speed' and 'convenience,' there is 'something' that is being lost and becoming invisible. We want to question that 'something' and deliver valuable information and education for our users' lives and work.
Shinchosha QUE will feature Weekly Shincho, original articles, and will also be joined by 'Foresight,' an international information site highly popular in political, financial, and bureaucratic circles for many years. Furthermore, it will offer an unlimited e-book reading service for Shinchosha's bestsellers and Weekly Shincho, available the day before release, as well as educational videos by leading experts in various fields.
By engaging with it daily, you will unknowingly acquire the 'power to question' = 'education.' It encourages deep questioning rather than seeking easy answers. We will provide such an experience to our users.
