Artificial intelligence which is making rapid advancements fueled by deep learning technologies, IoT,which is connecting not just computers, but every objects, and other information technologies are far more than being useful tools and are changing the fundamental nature of societies. With the recognition that the impact is sufficiently large to call it an emergence of a new civilization, Keio University is establishing Keio University Cyber Civilization Research Center in our Global Research Institute which is directly under the headquarters. We have just appointed renowned professors in the field Professor David Farber and Professor Jun Murai to be the co-directors of the center. Cybersecurity is an important element in making the emerging civilization to be truly benefitial to the human kind. In narrower sense, it may be about protecting systems from attacks and disasters. More importantly, however, cyber security is about building a society in which there are system-to-system, people-to-people, and ultimately people-to-people trusts. Existence of such trust will be a solid foundation on which the technologies bring happiness to people. In other words, cybersecurity research is about the creation of cyber civilization that brings happiness to every human being. We feel honored that Keio University can provide venue for the discussion of such an important topic and wish that you will have a very productive meeting. ------------------------------------------- Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/247/=now Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=18849915&id_secret=18849915-aa268125 Unsubscribe Now: https://www.listbox.com/unsubscribe/?member_id=18849915&id_secret=18849915-32545cb4&post_id=20180329181749:01B81F2E-339F-11E8-BE66-89C3A845CDAC Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
