Keio University Faculty of Science and Technology Mock Lecture: "AI that Coexists with Humans" (Professor Satoshi Kurihara, Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering)

This video features a mock lecture and an introduction to the faculty for high school and prospective university students, presented by Professor Satoshi Kurihara of the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering at Keio University's Faculty of Science and Technology. Instead of focusing on conventional AI research that supports tasks humans find difficult, such as increasing efficiency and reducing waste, this mock lecture uses "Paidon"—the first new manga by Osamu Tezuka in 31 years, created by refining a story and character drafts generated by AI—as a case study. This serves as an example of new AI research that supports human creativity, a field where humans excel. In addition to the mock lecture, Professor Kurihara also explains the significance for high school students of learning mathematics, the "universal language," while also introducing the appeal of university research and the atmosphere of the laboratories.
