Outline:The concept of human-centric AI is used in various countries and this is actually the title of the whole event. But what is and what should be “human-centric AI” or “AI for humanity”? Can we be confident that what we are building is working properly? Human wisdom is being challenged on a range of issues that AI raises today, including privacy, fairness, safety, democracy and sustainability. We need to think not only about what we discuss, but also how and with whom we discuss it in terms of diversity and inclusion.

In this session, we will discuss the interaction between humans, society and AI, rooted in the cultures and contexts of each country.

Outline:In addition to a multitude of expectations, the development of AI technologies also brings challenges and risks, which are becoming the subject of increasing public debate. This discussion focuses on efforts to prevent any misuse of these “intelligent” technologies for the profit or at the expense of some.

This session will discuss how to ensure the fair, accountable, transparent, robust and secure implementation of AI models in our societies.

What advantages do Japan, France and Germany have in working together (i.e. scientists, companies, political decision-makers, etc.) on this subject? Why? How can we improve co-operation and what are the current brakes and deadlocks?

Outline:With the increasing integration of user-facing systems integrating AI into our daily lives, humans increasingly have the occasion to interact with artificially “intelligent” systems.

What kind of relationships could emerge from those interactions between a human and an AI system? What place do we want to give AI systems in our societies (autonomous organisms, decision-makers, slaves/equals/superiors)? This session will discuss how our societies should envision the implementation of AI among humans in society and how AI could modify human behaviours.

Outline:Agriculture is one of the major global contributors to climate change and, at the same time, directly impacted by its consequences. The sector also faces the immense challenge of meeting the rising food demand of a growing world population despite a lack of human resources, especially in countries like Japan, Germany and France. Artificial Intelligence (AI) can lead the way to sustainable farms which engage in environmentally friendly production in a manner as efficient as mass production.

This session discusses which milestones will need to be passed to leverage the potential of AI for environmentally friendly, sustainable agriculture on a global level. It also discusses ongoing collaboration by Japan, France and Germany in this field and how these collaborative efforts can and should be improved in the future.

Parallel session

11

Outline:The development of efficient AI models relies not only on a large volume of data to learn from, but also on powerful computational resources to process those data. In this context, increasingly high-performance computers are being designed with a focus on serving AI applications, including exascale applications dedicated to weather forecasts, astronomy, petroleum prospecting and or financial market predictions.

This session will discuss how and why AI development can leverage high-performance computing as well as how high-performance computing can benefit from AI, and how international co-operation can help to optimise the development and the use of these supercomputers.

Outline:Ongoing technological revolution in artificial intelligence brings unprecedented challenges, disrupting some of the fundamental ideas of democracy. Large-scale manipulation for political purposes, for instance, can be achieved by applications relying on AI for targeted misinformation campaigns which leverage the concentration of powerful digital platforms and echo chambers. With regulation struggling to keep up with the pace of technological development, confidence in democratic authorities and processes is being challenged.

This session will discuss how AI can be used to strengthen our democracies rather than weaken them, how AI can be used to rethink our democratic processes and how AI could enable new forms of participation in democracy.

It also discusses what advantages Japan, France and Germany could derive from collaboration in this field and how such collaboration could be improved in the future.

Outline:Japan is known to be prone to natural disasters of various kinds, including earthquakes, typhoons, tsunami and volcanic eruptions. As these are difficult to predict and impossible to avoid, Japan has no choice but to be as prepared as possible for them.

As a consequence of global warming and climate change, extreme situations such as fires, floods, storms and droughts are an increasingly frequent occurrence. Risk prevention is no longer a challenge impacting only few countries but is now crucial for all nations around the globe.

Furthermore, the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic is, with tragic consequences, showing us how risks can take various forms, how they do not respect borders, how lack of preparation can be critical and how co-operation between nations can help to overcome them.

This session will discuss how AI can help us to prepare ourselves to face and overcome those risks.

What advantages could Japan, France and Germany derive from working together (i.e. scientists, companies, political decision-makers, etc.) on this topic? Why? How can we improve co-operation and what are the current brakes and deadlocks?

Outline:AI technologies offer the potential to improve health care activities (precision of diagnosis, drug development, personalised medicine, and relationships between treatment techniques and patient outcomes, etc.), but also raise concerns about data-sharing and data protection issues, as well as ethical issues more generally.

Moreover, as the populations of Japan, Germany and France are aging, our societies will have to offer services (not only care) to an unprecedented number of seniors.

This session will discuss how health care, nursing and services can be improved by leveraging AI models in the context of an aging society.

Outline:The shortage of AI specialists is an issue faced by almost all developed countries. The demand for AI specialists often exceeds the actual number of AI graduates coming out of university every year. In this context, public and private actors are engaged in a fierce battle to recruit the top experts.

Another crucial issue is enabling the general public to understand the basics of AI, as interaction with AI applications is increasingly becoming part of our lives and has a growing impact on them.

This session will discuss and compare the different strategies envisioned or implemented in Japan, France and Germany to cope with this challenge.

Outline:Attracted by the advantages offered by new technologies and services, people and organisations are demonstrating a growing tendency to rely on digital technologies and services, whether in their everyday life or for business purposes. The emergence of those new digital technologies and services is also triggering new consumption patterns, which are greedier than ever for digital resources. In this context, the creation of data worldwide is increasing by the year at an unprecedented pace. Use of computational resources is also rising like never before. As a result, the increasing need for digital resources, especially for the development of AI models, goes hand-in-hand with a growing need for energy resources to support them.

This session will discuss how the energy footprint of AI development can be controlled and reduced. This question could be compared to the contribution of AI to reducing energy consumption.

Outline:Ongoing digitisation and developments in artificial intelligence are increasingly influencing the legal world, be it the need to develop new regulations for the handling and protection of data and their owners, or dealing with algorithms governing legal processes in legal administration and the judicial system. Europe and Japan are facing similar social and political challenges in this respect and the aim of this session is to provide a platform for a comparative exchange with the participation of well-known experts and proficient speakers to discuss and develop sustainable solutions together.

The topics will address various related questions, from potential opportunities and benefits arising thanks to the fast progress of AI and the possible associated risks to the rule of law to how these developments affect members of the legal profession—judges, lawyers, academics and businesses—now and in the future.

This session discusses ongoing collaboration by Japan, France and Germany in this field and how these collaborative efforts can and should be improved in the future.

Outline:In the past four years, all developed countries have released their own national AI strategies and started to implement them. While Japan, France, Germany and others share a vision for the “human-centred” development of AI, the definition can differ substantially from one country to another. The values on which each strategy relies, as well as the actors steering its implementation, have resulted in different visions for the integration of AI into society across the globe.

Given the potential of AI applications and the challenges they raise, the need for international co-ordination has been pointed out from an early stage.

This session will discuss:• The status of global co-operation across stakeholders at the international level• How to integrate the momentum of collaboration among France-Germany-Japan and drive the “human-centred” approach in international discussions• What is at stake in AI-focused geopolitics involving actors such as the USA and China.• The stakes of AI geopolitics with actors like USA and China.
