Page 3, “Point of View,” has been revamped. This week, we are pleased to welcome Professor Emeritus Tsukio Yoshio of the University of Tokyo. Professor Tsukio will use his extensive knowledge to offer insight into “how humans should live in the age of AI.” Advances in cutting-edge technologies such as generative AI are set to bring about major changes to people’s lives. However, technology is not a panacea; rather, it is a powerful drug and a double-edged sword. If used appropriately, it can be a great tool of civilization, but if used incorrectly, it can become a devil’s weapon. This aspect seems to be particularly strong with AI. (Kei)
