Scope:
Recently, the direction of AI development is centered on human beings. Beyond mechanical AI, we are trying to develop AI that is human-friendly and thinks and determines like humans. Among a number of AI applications, many fields of determining human thoughts and intentions and providing services directly to humans are being studied. Sensors such as cameras are used to sense humans and the environment, and technology that processes and analyzes signals or images acquired from sensors through AI technology is very important. In order to share the results of these studies, a special session "Human-centered AI applications" was planned.
