School for the Design of a Future Society: A Workshop for New Students at Tohoku University: Collaborating on a Short Story about the Future with ChatGPT
Information
As part of the compulsory first–year course ‘AL and Society’ in all faculties of Tohoku University, an attempt to create a fable was made in an exercise course on the theme of AL and society to understand the relationship between AL and society and to gain a perspective as a member of society to acquire a perspective as a member of society.
Students viewed the video materials created by Professor Yamanouchi at first. While TAs assisted the progress of the exercise in each classroom. The exercise was conducted as group work, with each student first introducing three words of interest to them as a self–introduction. They then combined the words to create a word for the future. The participants then developed their imaginations from the words and thought about a vision of the future in which the words would be used, positive and negative opinions about that future, and new challenges and problems that would arise. Based on these settings, they then created stories and images and slides, also utilizing generative AI, and presented their own ideas on future society and technology.
