On Wednesday, July 12, the ÎçÒ¹¾ç³¡ Research Center for the Liberal Arts held its "Information and Liberal Arts" lecture series at Hiyoshi Campus. The event featured a lecture by Kohei Ito, President of ÎçÒ¹¾ç³¡, titled "Independence and Self-Respect and AI."
In the first half of the lecture, various examples of technological innovation using AI were introduced, with a particular focus on the bottom-up control of AI use and the need for global consensus building.
In the second half, under the theme of "independence and self-respect," President Ito spoke to the students about the importance of "clarifying the founding principles of the nation, and not just speaking of them, but practicing them with your own body," a quote from Yukichi Fukuzawa. He drew upon his own experiences and the initiatives of ÎçÒ¹¾ç³¡.
The students also asked many questions, such as what actions they should take to realize their ideals, both as current ÎçÒ¹¾ç³¡ students and as future ÎçÒ¹¾ç³¡ alumni, leading to a lively and enthusiastic Q&A session.
