The draft states that participating countries recognize the positive and negative impacts of the rapid development of digital technology on education, including the use of generative AI, which can produce text and images based on vast amounts of internet data.
Although there are expectations that generative AI models such as ChatGPT can improve student learning, concerns have been raised that the technology could be abused to generate essays and book reports.

To promote education that integrates the real and digital worlds, the draft also includes efforts to improve the IT environment, enhance teaching skills and support human resource development in growth areas such as technology and the environment.
