A view of the Japanese AI developments during the COVID-19 pandemic and the Japanese vision towards the future.
This article provides an overview of the latest AI developments in Japan. AI plays an important role in several top sectors in Japan and is an essential part of the Japanese Innovation Strategy. The Japanese AI Strategy is part of the Japanese vision of the future, the so called ‘Society 5.0’. Society 5.0 is a society heavily supported by technologies like AI to counter problems like an aging society and natural disasters. Similar to the rest of the world, the Japanese economy has been negatively affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. This can influence the Japanese AI strategy and its three tracks consisting of Productivity, Health and Mobility. Nevertheless, it seems that AI is not just negatively impacted by thepandemic. On the contrary, we see in Japan all kind of innovative AI supported solutions to deal with the new social distancing reality. From robots to VR tourism, this article will show some of the Japanese AI initiatives during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Op 14 januari bracht IA-Tokio samen met ambassadeur Peter van der Vliet een bezoek aan president Dr. Ryoji Chubachi van AIST, de Japanse tegenhanger van ons TNO.
Dr. Chubachi nodigde ons land uit voor verdere samenwerking met AIST op verschillende gebieden, waaronder waterstof en windenergie. Hij haalde ook de samenwerking aan met Eindhoven High Tech Campus, met wie AIST in 2017 een overeenkomst afsloot. Ambassadeur Van der Vliet onderstreepte het belang van bilaterale samenwerking, en bood verdere ondersteuning aan bij het realiseren hiervan.

De uitreiking vond plaats op Keio University, in bijzijn van 300 genodigden, waaronder de Japanse viceminister voor wetenschap, Ambassadeur Peter van der Vliet en Prof. Toshiro Sato van Keio University. Met deze laatste werkte Clevers lang samen in baanbrekende experimenten voor stamcellen en groeisystemen van menselijke mini-organen in het lab, ook wel bekend als organoids.
