Taking place on November 12 and 13, the invitation-only event at Prince Park Tower in Tokyo’s Minato district will bring together industry leaders to explore advances in generative AI, robotics and industrial digitalization.
Call to action: Tickets for the event are sold out, but tune in via live stream or watch sessions on demand.
More than 50 sessions and live demos will showcase innovations from NVIDIA and its partners, covering everything from large language models, called LLMto AI-based robotics and digital twins.
Huang and Son will discuss The transformative role of AI and the efforts driving the AI field.
Son has invested in companies around the world that have potential for AI-driven growth through SoftBank Vision Funds. Huang has helped NVIDIA become a global leader in AI and accelerated computing.
A major subject: Japan’s AI Infrastructure Initiativesupported by NVIDIA and local companies. This investment is at the heart of the country’s AI ambitions.
METI leaders and experts like Turing Inc.’s Shunsuke Aoki will examine how sovereign AI fosters innovation and strengthens Japan’s technological independence.
On Wednesday, November 13, two key sessions will provide a deeper insight into Japan’s AI journey:
- The present and future of generative AI in Japan: Professor Yutaka Matsuo from the University of Tokyo will explore advances in generative AI and its impact on business policy and strategy. Expect discussions on the opportunities and challenges Japan faces as it advances 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 including METI’s Takuya Watanabe and SoftBank’s Hironobu Tamba 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 University of Science and Yaskawa Electric will be among those presenting advances in sectors such as healthcare, robotics and data centers.
The summit will also include 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 provide hands-on development experience generation augmented by recoveryor RAG, agents using large-scale language models.
With its blend of forward-looking discussions and real-world applications, the NVIDIA AI Summit Tokyo will highlight Japan’s continued advancements in AI and its contributions to the global AI landscape.
