About the Session
In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) has rapidly permeated various fields of society, leading to what is often called “AI hype”—an atmosphere of excessive expectation and enthusiasm. However, as technology continues to advance, it is essential to calmly reflect on the true nature of AI and its impact on society. In this session, we will analyze the background behind the excessive expectations for AI and explore how society may change once the hype subsides. • The current state and limitations of AI technology • Social and economic factors that generate hype • Changes in values and ways of working brought about by AI • The impact of AI on fields such as education, healthcare, and government • The role of humans and ethical challenges in an AI-driven society
