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.
