The 2nd GENEE Symposium
“Social Challenges Brought by Generative AI: Data Bias, Fake News, and Shaken Legal Systems”

In education and workplaces, there is a growing trend of exploratory implementation of generative AI.
Generative AI possesses versatile symbolic processing capabilities and is expected to significantly impact the nature of human intellectual activities in the future.
However, this technology’s significant impact is also predicted to give rise to various social challenges.
