Comment from Digirise CEO Masahiro Chaen

The front line of defense is no longer limited to the physical realm, but is now also facing threats in cyberspace, where no time is wasted. This symposium discussed how organizations can prepare for AI-driven risks and strategies to safely unleash its power.

I was deeply impressed by the way you all literally risked your lives to carry out your duties in order to protect our country, and I felt a strong sense of mission to help protect the future of this country.

At Digirise, our mission is to "increase Japan's utilization rate of artificial intelligence to 80% or higher." We believe that achieving this goal will go beyond mere business and directly lead to strengthening the nation's overall resilience. By dramatically raising the level of IT and AI literacy, we are determined to provide strong technical support for the activities of the Self-Defense Forces and contribute to security and social development to the fullest extent possible.
