The revamped “Point of View” section on page 3 features Ms. Adachi Saeko, who provides consulting to small and medium-sized enterprises, mainly in Kyoto. We have been asking Ms. Adachi to write for us for a long time, and as in the past, she will introduce small but shining initiatives of small and medium-sized enterprises. Professor Eshita Masayuki from Meiji University has also appeared on our column a few times, and this time we will have him write prolifically about the state of media in the age of AI. We will ask him to consider what the media should be like in the face of AI, a double-edged sword that skillfully manipulates fact and fiction. (Kei)
