B’AI-UTokyo NY Office Event: “The Future of Higher Education in the AI Age”

This two-day event invites participants to explore the social impact of AI technology in higher education, from political, cultural, and ethical perspectives. How should we understand the latest AI technologies? How should they be reflected in the future design of higher education? We will invite scholars from various fields in Japan and the United States to discuss multifaceted implications of AI technologies by looking not only at their technical aspects but also at their political, social, and cultural dimensions.

This event is organized by the B’AI Global Forum at the University of Tokyo and supported by the Institute for AI and Beyond and UTokyo New York Office.
