AI integration in Japanese education
Overview
Educational technology providers in Japan are introducing various AI-driven tools and curricula for students and educators.
Initially, METABIRDS Co., Ltd. launched ‘AI Teaching Material Studio,’ a platform enabling educators to create interactive learning experiences using 3D models and multilingual AI avatars. Alongside this, SoftBank introduced ‘Mentari,’ an AI service designed to assist teachers in monitoring student mental health by analyzing survey responses for issues like bullying and providing a chat interface for students to organize their thoughts.
Following these developments, educational initiatives have expanded to include hands-on programming and immersive technology. Exceed released ‘AI x Scratch: Making a Moving Aquarium,’ which integrates AI-generated characters and music into coding projects. Additionally, the Logical AI School in Tokyo has implemented summer programs that combine AI with 3D printing and VR technology, aiming to teach students to use AI as a creative partner for problem-solving and physical product planning.
