In light of various disasters, conflicts, and human rights violations occurring worldwide—including natural disasters, war, and sexual violence—we sincerely pray for the safety, health, and recovery of all affected individuals. We also offer our deepest condolences to the souls of those who have tragically passed away.
In response to recent corporate scandals and oppressive governance trends, Tomonori Tomura, Director of the AI Governance Institute and former UN expert, will launch a new lecture series through Japan Management Research Institute. This initiative aims to promote awareness on critical topics such as 'AI Business and Human Rights' and 'What We Can Do for AI Governance' in the era of AI coexistence.
