The Institute for AI and Beyond Science Café is a video series organized by the Institute for AI and Beyond. Various topics related to research are widely disseminated to society in the form of conversations between research leaders of basic research (medium- to long-term research) and a moderator. Each event will have a different theme, such as how AI will advance the research of each speaker and how the results from that research will be relevant to society in the future.

In the 9th Institute for AI and Beyond Science Café, we were glad to welcome Lecturer Sho TSUJI of International Research Center for Neurointelligence (IRCN) of the University of Tokyo, who is conducting research on Integrating Brain Science and Gaze-based minimal virtual reality paradigm for tracking developing sensitivity to dyadic interactions. In the video, Dr. Tsuji talked with moderator about AI research, its applications, and its future.
