As artificial intelligence accelerates at an unprecedented pace, the foundations of our society—from the way we live and work to the very architecture of national security—are being fundamentally reshaped. We are now entering the era of “Physical AI,” where the digital and physical worlds converge and intelligent systems begin to interact directly with the real world. From autonomous mobility to advanced healthcare and smart industry, AI is rapidly evolving beyond traditional data processing to become a powerful engine capable of controlling, optimising, and transforming the physical world itself. This shift represents not only a technological revolution, but also a historic opportunity for Japanese companies to reclaim global leadership in the next generation of industry. Our company is committed to building the strategic AI infrastructure required to enable this transformation in Japan—establishing the industrial foundation that will empower businesses to unlock entirely new forms of value creation. In this keynote, we will explore how AI is redefining business models and industrial strategy, examining global trends, emerging opportunities, and the profound impact AI-driven infrastructure will have across industries. This session will offer a forward-looking perspective on how organisations can position themselves at the forefront of the AI era.
