Designing the future of education with AI for humanity
We sincerely welcome visitors to the AI EduTech Center.
Despite the breathtaking speed of technological development, education still provides the most fundamental linkage between people and society. We pursue education design focused not on technology but humanity in an effort to deepen and refine this linkage.
The AI EduTech Center designs and develops customized AI-based learning systems and sustainable learning environments, in close alignment with educational settings encompassing public education, business education, and lifelong education. We do not stop at the mere adoption and application of existing technologies. We design and build specialized educational AI to support self-directed learning regardless of age, vocation, region, and educational purpose.
Today, education is much more than just the delivery of knowledge. It is a process of developing the ability to shape the future together. The AI EduTech Center aims to serve as a trustworthy foundation for leading the transition of education and innovation to connect technology, humanity, and society. The center will establish an organic cooperation system comprising academia, industry, educational settings, and policy, jointly designing the future of education with the help of AI.
We look forward to your participation as the AI EduTech Center opens a new horizon in education.
