At Seikei Way, I want to develop the "comprehensive thinking ability", "creative thinking ability", and "true communication ability" required for Society 5.0.

Q Please tell us the purpose of this reform.

――Seikei Brilliant 5.0's reform philosophy is to foster human resources who can survive in the AI ​​era * 2020 with Society XNUMX, whose keywords are "fast, wide, and connected", through education centered on Seikei Way.Education and curriculum reform to help students acquire the abilities necessary to play an active role and live happily in the rapidly changing society of the future.

Q What kind of ability do you think it is?

――Smartphones have changed the world dramatically in the last 10 years, but with Society 5.0, even greater changes are expected.The driving force is AI, especially machine learning technology called deep learning.If you identify what you cannot do with that technology, what you are good at and what you are not good at, you can see that only humans can do it.

However, before that, it is necessary to think about where you want to put your foot, assuming the three areas of the side that makes AI, the side that masters it, and the side that works independently.

For many, it's probably the second and third.However, since the third area is expected to shrink steadily, we all want to move to the second area, that is, the side that masters AI.At that time, I think that what is required is "comprehensive thinking ability," "creative thinking ability," and "true communication ability."

And, of course, even if you don't turn to the side of making AI, in order to master AI, it is a major premise that you have a certain level of IT skills and understanding.Of course, even for liberal arts students.

Q 3 plus XNUMX, isn't it?

――Apart from more than 30 years from now, AI will not have social common sense, good sense, or insight, so it will remain in the hands of people to think comprehensively based on that.In addition, AI can only exert its power with big data, so it is still up to humans to make decisions with little data or in situations where there is no data.At that time, what is required is foresight and creative thinking.

"True communication skills" is a high level of communication skills symbolized by the so-called "hospitality".Recently, AI that talks, AI that expresses emotions, etc. are sometimes introduced, but these are just pretending to be, and for AI that has no intention or emotion so far, true communication that is the catch ball You can not.

It is often used, but if you put information such as traffic volume, weather data, and events in the taxi navigation, AI will figure out the driving route with a high probability that the customer will take a taxi.This was a skill unique to veteran drivers, but it will be replaced by AI.But that's not all the job of a driver.It is the job of the driver and human beings to talk to people and create an atmosphere so that they can take a taxi comfortably.

The same can be said for the restaurant industry.Even if there is a restaurant that serves lunch for 150 yen by cooking and serving with a robot, I think that there will be a 1 yen sushi restaurant where the craftsmen will hold sushi in front of you and you can enjoy conversation while enjoying it. increase.As long as humans demand services from humans, I think that stores and people who can provide such services will eventually remain.
