2nd General Conference: The Future of Digital Twins — Cross-Disciplinary Perspectives on Society and Decision-Making in the Age of AI Agents (Tentative)

Digital twins are technologies that replicate the real world in digital space, generating new value by linking the two. With advances in data-driven modeling, their applications have expanded from traditional physical fields to broader social domains, now supporting both design and societal decision-making. Meanwhile, new technologies like AI agent systems are rapidly being adopted, continually changing the challenges society faces, including disaster response and geopolitical risks. This event features expert dialogues examining next-generation digital twin technologies and frameworks connecting real and digital environments in a rapidly evolving technological and social landscape. Keynote: "Innovative Expansion of Digital Space-Time — For Human-AI Coevolution in the Real World" Speaker: Yoichi Motomura (Chair, Artificial Intelligence Consortium of the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology; President, Japanese Society for Artificial Intelligence) Content: As the integration of AI, such as physical AI, accelerates in society, a digital twin that handles interactions across time, space, and people is essential for shared perception between humans and AI. The keynote will present examples from the innovative digital space-time expansion project under JST CREST. A networking session will be held after the event. We look forward to your participation. *Program and speakers are subject to change. Please check this page for the latest updates.
