Shinnosuke Fukuoka Visits Ochanomizu University Senior High School
Tokyo partner Shinnosuke Fukuoka gave a special lecture titled "Science, Technology and Law - Focusing on Generative AI" to third-year students of Ochanomizu University Senior High School on June 20, 2025.
The lecture was held as part of the period for inquiry-based cross-disciplinary learning. It involved group discussions and opinion exchanges with students on how the law should approach science and technology and what kind of rules should be established, using generative AI as an example. The students who participated said that they learned about the difficulty of balancing legal regulations and rights, and asked many questions.
We hope that such initiatives will help students feel closer to the law, and will serve as an opportunity for them to think about the law during their future studies and career paths.
