\"\"<\/a>On 10 October\u00a02018, the Google Chair in Digital Innovation at the College of Europe<\/a>\u00a0organized an international seminar dealing with\u00a0the Societal Impact of Robots and Artificial Intelligence<\/strong>, in cooperation with representatives of\u00a0Waseda University in Tokyo<\/a>.\u00a0The event\u00a0started at 14:00 with\u00a0a\u00a0presentation\u00a0by\u00a0Professor\u00a0Toshie TAKAHASHI<\/a>\u00a0of the School of Culture, Media and Society at Waseda University. Professor\u00a0TAKAHASHI’s\u00a0presentation was followed by remarks by\u00a0Professor\u00a0Andrea\u00a0RENDA<\/a>, holder of the Google Chair, who\u00a0illustrated the current state of the debate on artificial intelligence in Europe. Comments were provided\u00a0by\u00a0Professor\u00a0Shuji HASHIMOTO\u00a0and Professor\u00a0Yoshiyuki SHIRAKAWA\u00a0of Waseda University, followed by\u00a0a debate with the audience.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Developments in Artificial\u00a0Intelligence (AI) and Robotics present new challenges to society in the 21st <\/sup>century.\u00a0Robots and AI-enabled systems\u00a0are already changing manufacturing supply chains, and are expected to\u00a0gradually\u00a0permeate many aspects of social life. While in Europe dystopian views are often predominant in the debate, with a looming threat that robots\u00a0replace\u00a0jobs and distort\u00a0interpersonal relationship, in Japan the age\u00a0of\u00a0robots seems to have started earlier, and is\u00a0less dominated by fear. The more consolidated\u00a0Japanese experience may be very helpful for Europe at a time in which many Member States, and now the European Commission are discussing upcoming ethical guidelines on AI, as well as a policy and investment strategy to compete globally on AI and data driven innovation.<\/p>\n
