Ethics of Future Society Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A research division that explores ethics in the age of generative AI and builds ethics education for universities.
AboutAbout the lab
Questioning our ethics in an age of new technology.
The Future Society Ethics Education Research Division studies the relationship between new technologies and society as an ethical issue and links that research to ethics education at universities.
It was established in April 2026 as an endowed research division, supported by the Uehiro Foundation on Ethics and Education, within the Center for Next-Generation University Education Development at the Faculty of Arts and Science.
It examines social issues arising from the spread of new technologies such as generative AI through interdisciplinary research across the humanities and sciences, combining ethics with insights from other fields.
New courses it develops will be offered at Kyushu University, and its know-how and course packages will also be provided to higher education institutions across Japan.
