Overview
The main purpose of this project is to study the social impacts of artificial intelligence (AI) that has been developing at an alarmingly accelerated speed beyond the last century from the perspectives of economics, sociology, and natural science/engineering. From this study, we aim to find the important clues which could help revitalize Japanese science-based industries represented by the semiconductor, pharmaceutical, and software industries as the advent of highly advanced AI technologies is predicted to cause the competitiveness of these industries to decline progressively in the same pattern as observed in the age of information and communications technology (ICT).
