1. Purpose of This Site
AI JOURNAL LAB (ai-journal.jp) is a specialized media platform focused on the ethical, educational, legal, societal, and cultural dimensions surrounding generative AI.
We explore critical questions that society as a whole must face beyond the boundaries of technology, such as the societal impacts of generative AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini; ethical frameworks for AI; its use and challenges in education; algorithmic bias and discrimination; legal governance; and intersections with religion and the arts.
By drawing from multiple disciplines—philosophy, education, law, culture, and practical fieldwork—our goal is to serve as a thinking and knowledge hub that connects AI and human society.
