Changes in Knowledge, People, and Society Brought About by AI

- Efforts of the University of Aizu to Adapt to the Rapidly Developing AI Era -

With the rapid development of generative artificial intelligence (AI) such as GPT over the past two years, people are talking about the arrival of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) that will surpass human capabilities in the not-too-distant future.

It should also be acknowledged that many professions have recently experienced significant changes due to the emergence of AI technologies capable of chatting, generating images, videos, and programs with human-like abilities.

Against this backdrop, computer-related education, research, and new business are becoming increasingly important, and the University and industry must collaborate closely to explore how we can respond to and cooperate in these areas.

At this critical juncture, our university aims to provide a platform for keynote speeches and panel discussions to examine and debate these issues from multiple perspectives.

Keynote Speech Outline

Keynote Speech 1 "Prospects of Edge AI Computing Based on Nonvolatile Logic" HANYU Takahiro

Nonvolatile spintronic devices have potential advantages such as fast read/write, and high endurance together with back-end-of-the-line compatibility, which offers the possibility of constructing not only stand-alone RAMs and embedded RAMs that can be used in conventional VLSI circuits and systems, but also standby-power-free and high-performance VLSI processors, where a new logic-circuit style, called "Nonvolatile (NV) Logic-in-Memory (LIM) Architecture" that merges nonvolatile storage elements into CMOS logic-gate circuits is used. In this presentation, the advantages of employing spintronic devices, especially magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) devices combined with CMOS circuits are discussed and the current status of the MTJ-based VLSI computing paradigm is presented along with its prospects and remaining challenges.

Keynote Speech 2 "Wet Interface Engineering for the Skin-Surface Chemical Sensing" NAGAMINE Kuniaki

The Nagamine Lab at the Yamagata University Graduate Department of Organic Materials Science is developing sensing technology based on a new method that enables non-invasive/nondestructive extraction of chemical substances contained in a biological surface by simply wetting it with an aqueous solution (wet interface). In this keynote speech, we will discuss efforts to apply this technology to healthcare, smart agriculture, and other fields.

Keynote Speech 3 "How Should We Live with Advanced AI?" MATSUBARA Hitoshi

In the 2000s, AI technology has made rapid progress, with practical applications centered on image and speech recognition. In the 2020s, AI has become able to successfully generate language, making natural language processing a practical application. In this presentation, we will discuss how humans should deal with these advances in AI.
