Strategic Objective
Realization of a safe and comfortable society where “humans and AI coexist and collaborate”
Overview
This research area aims to advance technologies that enable the coexistence of AI and humans, as well as the collaboration of diverse AI systems, while considering aspects such as reliability, fairness, and safety. It seeks to realize cooperative interactions between multiple humans and multiple AIs.
To achieve a society where AI and humans coexist and collaborate, it is essential not only to improve the precision of systems but also to explore the design and role of AI that contribute to the well-being of individuals and society. Furthermore, beyond addressing societal challenges through AI, there is a need to anticipate and preemptively mitigate emerging social issues arising from its widespread adoption. In this research area, with these perspectives in mind, we will promote the development of AI and its foundational technologies to realize a harmonious coexistence and collaborative society involving diverse AI systems and humans.
Additionally, elucidating the impact of AI on individuals and society is a key challenge. This includes not only research related to system development but also studies incorporating perspectives from the humanities and social sciences, as well as specialized viewpoints from fields where AI is applied, such as medicine, education, and law.
This research area participates in the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT)’s Advanced Integrated Intelligence Platform Project on Artificial Intelligence/Big Data/IoT/Cybersecurity (AIP Project).
