As AI-related technologies have evolved remarkably and spread throughout society, sophisticated AI agents with diverse characteristics are anticipated to support other AIs and humans to solve more complex and complicated social issues. Meanwhile, there is also concern that various AIs which exist in parallel and interact autonomously for their own purpose may behave in unexpected ways for people. Against this backdrop, this Strategic Objective aims to promote research and development for a “society where humans and AI coexist and collaborate,” in which humans and various AIs collaborate while considering reliability, fairness, safety, etc., to enhance the performance of society as a whole, and to enable people to live safely and comfortably.
