Every year, we organize the NRI Dream Up the Future Forum based on NRI's Corporate Statement, "Dream up the future." In 2023, 5,500 people participated in the forum online.
This year's theme, "New Society in the Era of Generative AI," featured lectures from three NRI experts who have long studied the relationship between AI and society.
They discussed whether: (1) Will generative AI bring about a revolution in human creativity or a path to servitude to AI? (2) Will the social system extended by generative AI technology be mechanical or biological? (3) What will happen to people's work when the generative AI completely replaces human skills?
Additionally, NRI's Mori and Michiaki Matsushima, Head of Editorial Content at WIRED＊ Japan, engaged in a discussion on the future vision of a society increasingly shaped by AI. Matsushima remarked, "True creativity emerges from what we do not understand. The challenge now is whether we will confi ne generative AI within the limits of our understanding."
NRI will continue to study the changes in the latest technologies and society and make recommendations for building a better future society.
＊"WIRED" was launched as a print magazine in the US in 1993. It is now a multimedia format publication that focuses on how technology impacts society and culture and makes recommendations about how the future should be.
