International Forum on AI Economic Society
-Data Economy Spurred by Artificial Intelligence-

【Notice】

Given the current status of the novel Corona Virus and to reduce the potential risk of it spreading, we have decided to cancel the International Forum on AI Economic Society scheduled on March 12 and plan to postpone it.

Due to the emergence of state-of-the-art information technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Internet of Things and big data technologies, a new economy that realizes a data/information-centric society, also known as the “data economy,” has started to spread. It can be said that “GAFA”—the U.S. Big Four tech companies that have rapidly grown utilizing data—is a sort of embodiment of this trend. New innovation using intangible assets is promoting enhanced productivity and making the economy more dynamic. This is accelerating the concentration of wealth, which is even influencing nation-to-nation and company-to-company power balances.

Well-known specialists from domestic and abroad will be invited and discussions will be made about the type of economic society we should work to establish and what we can expect there in a new global data economy that is sometimes called a “social economy” and “sharing economy” at the upcoming International Forum on AI Economic Society.
