      Guest Keynote: Art Thinking to Pioneer the AI Era
      Shu Yamaguchi, Independent researcher, author, and public speaker
      We are in an era where generative AI provides the “optimal solution” to every challenge. Decision making based solely on logic, data and science no longer creates differentiation. In a world where everyone can reach the correct answer, what retains value to the end?

Focusing on “Art Thinking” advocated by Shu Yamaguchi, this session presents a new compass for business and life to avoid being buried in the AI era. ... Show More Show Less
