NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang will join SoftBank Group Chairman and CEO Masayoshi Son in a fireside chat at NVIDIA AI Summit Japan to discuss the transformative role of AI and more..
Taking place on November 12-13, the invite-only event at The Prince Park Tower in Tokyo's Minato district will gather industry leaders to explore advancements in generative AI, robotics and industrial digitalization.
Call to action: Tickets for the event are sold out, but tune in via livestream or watch on-demand sessions.
Over 50 sessions and live demos will showcase innovations from NVIDIA and its partners, covering everything from large language models, known as LLMs, to AI-powered robotics and digital twins.
Huang and Son will discuss AI's transformative role and efforts driving the AI field.
Son has invested in companies around the world that show potential for AI-driven growth through SoftBank Vision Funds. Huang has steered NVIDIA's rise to a global leader in AI and accelerated computing.
One major topic: Japan's AI infrastructure initiative, supported by NVIDIA and local firms. This investment is central to the country's AI ambitions.
Leaders from METI and experts like Shunsuke Aoki from Turing Inc. will dig into how sovereign AI fosters innovation and strengthens Japan's technological independence.
On Wednesday, November 13, two key sessions will offer deeper insights into Japan's AI journey:
The Present and Future of Generative AI in Japan: Professor Yutaka Matsuo of the University of Tokyo will explore the advances of generative AI and its impact on policy and business strategy. Expect discussions on the opportunities and challenges Japan faces as it pushes forward with AI innovations.
Sovereign AI and Its Role in Japan's Future: A panel of four experts will dive into the concept of sovereign AI. Speakers like Takuya Watanabe of METI and Hironobu Tamba of SoftBank will discuss how sovereign AI can accelerate business strategies and strengthen Japan's technological independence.
These sessions highlight how Japan is positioning itself at the forefront of AI development. Practical insights into the next wave of AI innovation and policy are on the agenda.
Experts from Sakana AI, Sony, Tokyo Science University and Yaskawa Electric will be among those presenting breakthroughs across sectors like healthcare, robotics and data centers.
The summit will also feature hands-on workshops, including a full-day session on Tuesday, November 12, titled Building RAG Agents with LLM.
Led by NVIDIA experts, this workshop will offer practical experience in developing retrieval-augmented generation, or RAG, agents using large-scale language models.
With its mix of forward-looking discussions and real-world applications, the NVIDIA AI Summit Tokyo will highlight Japan's ongoing advancements in AI and its contributions to the global AI landscape.
Tune in to the fireside chat between Son and Huang via livestream or watch on-demand sessions.
