Our international forum aims at creating an innovative dialogue to explore new research issues and methodology for future symbiotic society with artificial intelligence. It involves researchers working on a wide array of topics and disciplines, in particular in the field of social sciences and humanity (SSH) and of computer/engineering sciences (CS/ES), revolving around artificial intelligence. The 35 participants, coming from Japan, Germany and France, will be divided into three theme panels to discuss the designated topics and draw the goals and its roadmaps for future society with scientific, technical, ethical and humanity challenges.

Our international forum aims at creating an innovative dialogue to explore new research issues and methodology for future symbiotic society with artificial intelligence. It involves researchers working on a wide array of topics and disciplines, in particular in the field of social sciences and humanity (SSH) and of computer/engineering sciences (CS/ES), revolving around artificial intelligence. The 35 participants, coming from Japan, Germany and France, will be divided into three theme panels to discuss the designated topics and draw the goals and its roadmaps for future society with scientific, technical, ethical and humanity challenges. Taking place over 3 days, the forum will start with a conference open to the public on July 18 and will alternate closed panel working meetings and plenary sessions.
