Tadaki Matsukawa (born 1952) is a Japanese legal scholar and attorney specializing in civil law, particularly family and inheritance law, as well as French law. He is Professor Emeritus at Osaka University and a professor at the Faculty of Law at Osaka Gakuin University. His research has addressed family law, wills, inheritance, and adult guardianship, and he has also devoted much of his career to legal education. In "Kangae o Tsukuru, Kangae o Tsutaeru: AI Jidai no Shiko no Lesson" ("Creating and Communicating Ideas: Lessons in Thinking for the AI Age"), Matsukawa examines how people can develop and communicate their own ideas at a time when AI can readily generate answers and text. Drawing on his experience as a scholar and educator, he presents methods for combining different perspectives, developing independent thought, and expressing it clearly in words.
