Summary

CAIR has been promoting the AI Research Hub Formation Project, which aims to strengthen the research base for AI-related technologies within Aoyama Gakuin University, with the support of Gakuin’s AOYAMA VISION (FY2018-2020). The AI research hub formed around the College of Science and Engineering will continue to provide strong support for research projects related to AI technology, both in terms of hardware and software, and will be further developed within the university, ultimately aiming to function as a university-wide AI research hub not limited to the College of Science and Engineering.
