In the year 2020, we are faced with Covid19 and the various social changes cascading from it. This virus is spreading through the physical connections between people, and it is also affecting the various traditions, cultures and systems that humanity has created analogously.
At the same time, the world built by the digital revolution has strengthened our virtual connections, and cutting-edge technologies such as media, bio, nano, AI, robotics, and space are interacting with the ever-changing global landscape, inviting us into the unknown.
How will we face these dramatic changes, how will we have our own compass, and how will we live in the new future? We believe that we need a more three-dimensional, interdisciplinary, experiential forum for discussion that cannot be shared by traditional media journalism.
In this course, we envision Artistic Journalism as a new media, place, and system for broadly experiencing and discussing the future. Throughout history, mankind has created the future through the invention of new arts and technologies to overcome various difficulties.
Through the activities of Ars Electronica, based in Austria-Lintz, we will create a dialogue with new knowledge that cannot be conveyed by books, newspapers and online media alone, and discuss how to apply this dialogue to future policy.

In order to utilize full potential of information and communications technologies (ICTs) for promoting economic growth and addressing various social issues, we need to take various steps such as 1) development of relevant technologies, 2) development of product and services, 3) expansion of infrastructure, and 4) building capacity of human and society to be ready to use ICTs. Policy intervention is necessary as these goals are hard to accomplish, if solely relying on market competition. Understanding such policies required to support technology will be helpful to predict and take advantage of social dynamics related to new digital products and services that are emerging now and will emerge in the coming future.
In the first stage of this course, explanation will be provided on importance of social expansion of ICTs, mainly focusing on network technologies such as mobile communications and the Internet. Basic knowledge required to understand relevant policies will be also introduced.
Then the course will pick up specific case studies for each sort of ICT policy practices, to discuss how that policy making was triggered and what impacts the policy brought about, with viewpoints of international comparison. In addition, students will be invited to participate in more active discussion on certain topic on future policy direction, which will be shown later in the course.

In the age of artificial intelligence, it is desirable that text data
are treated like any other data. The use of text processing technology
will lead to significant value creation. Students are expected to
learn basic techniques of text processing and to develop their own
text processing applications. In this course, the emphasis is not on
understanding complex natural language processing theories, but rather
on the basic techniques and applications of text processing, the
possibilities of text processing, and the fun and excitement of using
it. At the end of the course, students will create their own text
processing applications using the skills and knowledge they learned in
the course.

我が国の平均寿命はほぼ世界最長、乳幼児死亡率はほぼ世界最低である等、我が国の社会保障制度が優れているという指標は枚挙にいとまがない。本講義では、この我が国の社会保障制度の特徴、その長所と短所、我が国から得られる教訓等について、制度の背景となる社会事情も含めて理解を深めるとともに、他国において社会保障制度を構築し、あるいは他国における社会保障制度をより改善する際に有用な知識や手法を身につけることを目指す。講義においては我が国の個々の制度（医療、介護、年金、労働保険、生活保護等）を取り上げるとともに、学生に諸外国（たとえば留学生の出身国等。これに限らない。）の社会保障制度について短い中間レポート（受講者に公開される）を書いてもらうこととする（これにより受講者は他国の制度について、また日本制度との違いについても併せて理解することができ、また我が国の制度（特に医療制度）が「特殊過ぎて直接は他国に応用できない」という点を補えるというメリットがある）。GIGAプログラムの一環として英語で授業を行う。
