retaining the ethical values and principles.

OBJECTIVE OF THE COURSE

The objective is to apply knowledge in Monozukuri education in the field of
Artificial Intelligence (AI). The interaction and practical application of the
trainee will determine the impact of the training in their real situation.
• To give understanding of the Philosophical Education in regard to
Japanese Style Principles.
• To give insights of the real world for people with engineering background.
• To guide participants on understanding their own company’s culture and
ideology.
• BEFORE THE COURSE:
1. To understand the importance of Japanese Style work
philosophy or craftsmanship and how to apply it current
system of the company.
2. To establish a good communication system.

Lecture Lesson 1 Theme ① World trend of AI

Outline Lesson 2 Theme ② Application site of IoT & AI
Lesson 3 Theme ③ Actual use of AI at manufacturing sites
Find out in which AI fields are students interested through their
Discussion Points presentation…? Also, grasp the competence of students by
responding to discussions and presentations.
・ Theme ① World trend of AI
⇒ Recognize the students’ understanding of AI and share their interests.
(The degree of interest towards AI may widely vary with each students but it would be good to
grasp where their interests are at.
⇒ With regard to the current AI, students can discuss what is likely to be technically possible
(possible and fun) and what is likely to be difficult (for example in Cebu).

・ Theme ② Application site of IoT & AI

⇒ Share information on AI &/or IoT services that is know &/or already utilized in everyday life.
⇒ Discuss what is interesting in each case and what can bring new value by integrating AI / IoT.

・ Theme ③ Actual use of AI at manufacturing sites

⇒ Discuss what is interesting in each case and what can bring new value by integrating AI / IoT.
(What were the students interested in and where to find innovation?)
⇒ Discussion on what type of AI / IoT utilization is needed in the field of manufacturing.
(By doing this, we can grasp in which field students have interests.)

 【① World trend of AI 】

Outline of Lecture

1. Changes in AI/IoT related markets

The markets (industries) related to AI / IoT is particularly rapidly expanding in recent years.
AI / IoT is a future business opportunity.
Session to convey the above.
2. History of IT as it progresses to AI / IoT
While AI / IoT gets a lot of attention, AI / IoT progress was not born suddenly, but the background is that there
was (is) evolution of IT.
For example, a session to convey technological singularity.
3. Current situation of AI technology
… how AI is being looked upon;
… there were 3 booms in AI and that currently it is the 4th boom;
… Even with AI, it is not only "Deep Learning" (hereinafter DL), there are various Ais;
… Sessions telling DL spreading widely and the technical impact that could not have happened is occurring.
4. Impact of AI on industry and society
From an industrial perspective, AI is a trump card for processing BigData and extracting value.
However, it doesn’t mean that AI can do everything and that there are things that it can’t do.
There are also several types even with AI (children's AI, adult AI: strong AI, weak AI).
Session to consider the importance that AI gives various impacts to industry and society in future.
5. IoT / Big Data supporting AI
Despite the importance of AI and Big Data, explaine the importance of IoT collecting data in the first place.
Session to convey the relationship between IoT, Big Data, and AI.
6. Required AI human resources
Based on the AI as written above, explain that the AI talents required in the future are not someone who
competes as AI researchers and/or AI vendors, but business operators who can handle AI.

2. Utilization of AI/IoT
Changes of people’s action and business with AI / IoT, etc.
It is important to think about AI, IoT, Big Data as a set.
Session to introduce the "utilization premise story" about the utilization
process.
3. AI / IoT related trends in the manufacturing field (Europe, the United States)
Introduction of Germany’s “Industry 4.0” and GE’s IIJ in the US.
4. Typical pattern of utilization of IoT / AI in the manufacturing field.
Introducing the pattern of utilization of IoT / AI centered on major
companies from five categories.
5. About utilization of IoT / AI in the field focusing on small and medium
manufacturing (Monozukuri) industry.
Presentation of viewpoints when seeing cases (references).
Introduce examples of IoT / AI utilization in multiple small and medium
manufacturing industries.
