Role of Technology Future Vision
The complex social influences of climate change, resource depletion,
declining birth rates, and aging populations raise the question:
What kind of society do we want to pass on to the next generation?
We believe that co-caring could provide a path forward.
Imagine a society where we could maximize the use of limited global and social resources without producing waste.
Where we could make choices that benefit ourselves and others without requiring sacrifices or struggle.
Co-caring is the essence of this new society.
We envision a new social system that enables everyone to access enough green energy
for daily living and fosters a sense of fulfillment and compassion.

AI and Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS):
Creating connections through common technology
We envision a society where individual choice naturally leads to caring for each other.
In terms of sustainability, this entails the extensive use of energy and resources that are green, secure, and affordable.
In terms of overall well-being, it involves cultivating meaningful relationships with oneself, friends, family, community, and nature,
with a focus on finding a sense of fulfillment and compassion.
In pursuit of this interconnected society, we want to fully leverage AI and CPS (Cyber-Physical System) technology that
understands people and their lifestyles on multiple levels in cyberspace
and translates this comprehension into value for the real world.
Through this, people can acquire individualized choices so that they can engage
in a variety of relationships and connections.
