Japan’s Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology published version 2.0 of its guidelines on generative AI in primary and secondary education on 26 December 2024, replacing the provisional July 2023 version. They treat generative AI as a tool whose output people must judge, stress the teacher’s role, add examples of classroom use and flag misinformation and copyright risks.

Why it matters

Japanese schools and boards of education moved from provisional advice to standing national guidance on how pupils and teachers may use generative AI.
