00:00Making connections in a divided world through the universal language of art and creativity.
00:09That's one of the key aims of Japan's Expo 2025.
00:13And in learning and playing theme week, we'll see just how important creativity is to acquiring knowledge
00:20and what the future of learning could look like in an AI-powered world.
00:30Media artist Yoshi Ochiai, who designed the mind-bending, mirrored Null Null Pavilion,
00:39led a panel about how AI and other technologies are changing education and reshaping how we learn.
00:47When you try to learn something new and you rely only on AI,
00:51then maybe you will get the wrong information that you will remember the thing wrong
00:56because the AI model hallucinates all the time.
01:00Something that AI creates is kind of normal, like mediocre.
01:03But yeah, for a human, we have like a creativity that I don't think AI can beat us.
01:11Musician, mathematician and champion of STEAM education, Sachiko Nakajima is behind the Invigorating Lives,
01:19Playground of Life Jellyfish Pavilion, where she says people can experience the joy and possibility of creativity.
01:26A characteristic she too believes won't be replaced by AI.
01:31I am not afraid at all because for me, AI is like a friend.
01:36So when you meet with somebody who are different from me, it's so interesting and inspiring.
01:43So AI is another existence.
01:46So we have to learn how to co-live together with AI.
01:52Inclusion was at the heart of this event, focusing on harnessing the strengths of diversity.
01:58Everyone is different, and we believe that everyone is minority, actually.
02:04So we have some kind of unique characteristics.
02:07We like to treasure those kind of diversified personalities or characteristics of everyone.
02:13Creativity and art can be powerful tools to connect people in a divided world.
02:21Chilean filmmaker Maite Alberti was among guests discussing how they can bridge gaps in society.
02:28She says cinema breaks down barriers.
02:31I think that with intimate and personal stories, that's what films do, especially.
02:39Like to break the stereotypes and the prejudge.
02:51Elderly, it's also a prejudge.
02:53I made my last two films about elderly people.
02:57I can do 100 different films about elderly people and I will have 100 different stories.
03:07Overcoming prejudice and unconscious bias are also some of the central themes of peace, human security and dignity theme week.
03:15Biases and prejudice are sort of silent architects of conflict.
03:21If those things are unaddressed, a huge amount of frustration, difficulties, injustices spread in different parts of the society.
03:33And that actually becomes one of the key root causes, if you will, of conflict today.
03:40And it is very important that today's young people are part of these discussions.
03:45They will be the one inheriting today's world.
03:49And more than that, they will be the one who will be building future peace.
03:58And on August 6th, Hiroshima Peace Memorial Day, children from Japan and around the world presented the peace communication declaration, ensuring the Expo's message of tolerance lives on in the next generation.
04:11My hope for the future is that this world will have no more fights like war, like atomic bombs.
04:23I hope that there should be no more World War III and the world should be at peace.
04:42Well, that's all we've got time for in this program for more creative ideas for the future from Expo 2025.
