■A Media to Increase 'People Who Can Master AI' and Solve Japan's Social Issues
From the experience of using generative AI when it first became a topic, many people may still have the impression that it is a 'chatbot that often gives incorrect or arbitrary answers.' However, AI has now evolved into 'Agentic AI' that can infer, plan, and act on its own, and it is becoming capable of performing in all situations, not just as an excellent assistant, but as a reliable teacher.
In the near future, AI is expected to merge with robots and various devices, permeating every corner of our lives as 'Physical AI.' On the other hand, Japanese society faces challenges such as a declining labor force due to an aging population and a lack of real wage growth due to stagnant labor productivity. There is no reason not to utilize AI to solve these issues.
AI Watch will contribute to the realization of a world where people can enjoy human-like lives more than ever before by clearly conveying the latest information surrounding AI and increasing the number of people who can master AI.
