From Digital Game AI to Smart City - Institute of Industrial Science, the University of Tokyo

Artificial intelligence is widely applied in digital games: It can sense the entire situation of a game and affect the game by giving orders to characters or objects. This revolutionary technology can also be used for real-world applications. My idea is to harness AI technology to create a smart city or a huge AI system that is capable of protecting residents against natural disasters, for example, and making life better for them.
