OUTLINE

In modern Al research and development, there are a lot of revolutionary innovations in generative models, diffusion models, large-language models, high-resolution autonomous control, and so forth. Therefore, it is obvious that it is necessary to have deep discussions and collaborations in terms of research, development, utilization, and governance. Recently, cooperation between Korea and Japan has reached an all-time high. They share core values and philosophies regarding Al's advancement. It's essential to promote Al advancement through closer bilateral exchanges and cooperation, from academia to industry, bringing more benefits to both countries.

Based on our big success in the 1st Japan-Korea Workshop on Artificial Intelligence at the University of Tokyo, Japan, during December 2023, we will be holding the 2nd Korea- Japan Workshop on Artificial Intelligence to foster bilateral academic communications and collaborations, with a special focus on in-depth exchange of ideas between young scholars of two countries, on a wide spectrum of AI-related topics.
