AI時代の羅針盤であるAIGC文図学は、人工知能生成コンテンツ（AIGC）を人文科学的に探究する新しい学問です。この分野はシンガポール南洋理工大学教授である衣若芬（イ・ローフェン、I Lo-fen）が創始したもので、伝統的な文図学（Text and Image Studies）をAI時代に拡張したものです。2024年に刊行された著書『AIGC文図学：人類3.0時代の生産力』を通じて体系化されました。
AIGCが創作の境界を崩す中で、テキストとイメージの相互作用を分析し、その意味、倫理、文化的な含意を研究します。人類3.0時代の生産力として位置づけられるこの学問は、AIを単なるツールではなく、人文精神を豊かにするパートナーとして再定義します。未来の創造性と批判的思考を育む羅針盤であり、人間性を守る鍵となるものです。
The Compass of the AI Era: AIGC Text and Image Studies
In the rapidly evolving AI era, “Text and Image Studies on AIGC” serves as a vital intellectual compass. Proposed and founded by Professor I Lo-fen (衣若芬) of Nanyang Technological University in Singapore, this emerging discipline extends traditional Text and Image Studies into the age of Artificial Intelligence Generated Content (AIGC).
Through her seminal 2024 book AIGC文图学：人類3.0時代的生產力 (Studies on AIGC: Productivity in the Age of Humanity 3.0), Professor I Lo-fen established a new methodological framework that examines the humanistic dimensions of AI-produced text, images, and multimedia—analyzing their meanings, ethics, aesthetic values, and cultural impacts.
AIGC revolutionizes creation by blurring boundaries between human and machine authorship. This field addresses key questions: How does generative AI reshape originality and creativity? What ethical challenges arise in AI-generated narratives and visuals? How can we integrate technology with humanities to foster responsible innovation?
As a powerful productivity force in “Humanity 3.0,” AIGC Text and Image Studies equips scholars, creators, and society to navigate AI’s opportunities and risks. It emphasizes the interplay of text and image, promoting critical thinking and deeper cultural understanding. Ultimately, this discipline—initiated by I Lo-fen—redefines AI not merely as a tool, but as a companion that enriches human wisdom, guiding us toward a future where technology and humanity flourish together.
