Resolving global issues fosters open collaboration within society. Collective business strategies together with this transformation will encourage the expansion of global opportunities and resolve uneven resource allocations. A more sustainable society and business environment will be created.
TT01 Socially Accepted AI
As AI continues to permeate society, practical issues are emerging. Technology advancements that improve both the accuracy and ease of building AI will further expand its application. Additionally, ensuring transparency will create more socially accepted AI, accelerating its integration into society.
TT02 Usable Augmented Data
In an era where data quality dictates business success, more usable and complete data by augmentation will be critical as mixing good with bad data continues. The development of technologies that generate and refine data will expand the possibilities of data usage.
TT03 Digital Life Science
IT has progressed beyond promoting healthier behaviors and supporting medicine. Devices for monitoring enable at-will diagnosis and changes the way people engage medical care. IT involvement in genetic and cerebral disorders have also initiated research in incurable diseases and life extension.
TT04 Natural Interaction
Conversations between humans and machines are becoming a normal part of life. Machines respond to user instructions, emotions and the context of communication. As machines communicate more naturally, machines will provide people with new insights and assist human thinking.
TT05 Spatial Computing
Technology to capture real world environments has become commonplace, allowing the replication of objects and space in precise size and positional relationship. Generated environments with augmented information will become an entirely new medium transforming business and individual perception.
TT06 Quantum Leap in IT Infrastructure
Demands for accelerating system processing continues. Domain specific development infrastructures and entirely new computers are appearing. Consequently, the ability to select a high-speed infrastructure that enhances performance is now a requirement for businesses.
TT07 Personal Data for the Digital Era
Massive leaks are precipitating a global imperative to protect information. While personal data is becoming a security focal point, its value mandates active utilization by broad distribution. Balancing the utilization and protection of personal data has become a prerequisite for economic development.
