This study explored the use of generative AI technologies to teach financial literacy in Japanese university classrooms through a two-day instructional intervention. The research was conducted at a private university in Western Japan in four classes - two focused on presentation and two on writing. The classes had a combined enrollment of approximately 120 undergraduate students. Instruction was designed using the AI Assessment Scale, a five-level framework that helps students engage with AI at different levels of learning and production. On day one of the intervention, students learned financial literacy concepts through hands-on activities regarding budgeting and retirement planning without AI (AIAS Level 1). On day two, students analyzed case studies and used AI at varying levels - planning, collaboration, and exploration - to create group presentations or written reports. Students also completed AI reflection sheets to document how they used AI and evaluate its impact on their learning. To measure learning outcomes, we administered the Youth Financial Literacy Survey in Japanese before and after the intervention. Quantitative data from the surveys will be compared using descriptive and inferential statistics, while qualitative data from AI reflections and student products will be thematically analyzed. The study aims to evaluate whether limited but strategic use of AI enhances students’ financial understanding, critical thinking, and digital literacy.
