In Japan, too, artificial intelligence has begun to become ubiquitous, and there’s a strong argument that a huge amount of jobs will be replaced by it in the near future.

Taking these factors into consideration, new educational initiatives that focus on children’s reading comprehension have begun in order to ensure survival in the coming age of artificial intelligence.
