Danilo Vasconcellos Vargas is currently an Associate
Professor at Kyushu University, Visiting Researcher at theUniversity of Tokyo and CEO & Founder of MiraiX(www.miraix.org). His research interests span Artiﬁcial
Intelligence (AI), evolutionary computation, complex
adaptive systems, interdisciplinary studies involving orusing an AI s perspective and AI applications. Many of hisworks were published in prestigious journals such as
Evolutionary Computation (MIT Press), IEEE Transactions on
Evolutionary Computation and and IEEE Transactions of
Neural Networks and Learning Systems with press coveragein news magazines such as BBC news. He received awards
such as the IEEE Transactions on Evolutionary Computation
Outstanding 2022 Paper award, the IEEE Excellent Student
Award and scholarships to study in Brazil, Germany andJapan for many years. Regarding his community activities,
he presented tutorials at GECCO2018, WCCI2020 and at therenowned top AI conference IJCAI2020. He was alsoco-organizer and advisor committee of various workshops
both about AI and about multidisciplinary perspectives for
AI with more than 10 invited talks, one of which was given
in a workshop in CVPR 2019. Currently, he leads theLaboratory of Intelligent Systems aimed at building a new
age of robust and adaptive artiﬁcial intelligencefunded/supported by the two biggest Japan's funding
agencies: JST and JSPS (including JST ACT-I, JST ACT-I
Accelaration Phase, JSPS Kakenhi Wakate). More info can befound both in his Labpage (http://lis.inf.kyushu-u.ac.jp) andhis Company website (www.miraix.org).

sense. In this presentation, we embark on a journey tounravel the complexities of intelligence. The ﬁrst part delves
into the surprising lack of robustness and adaptivity in eventhe most accurate AI models, prompting the need for anovel paradigm. We outline a robust and adaptive AI
approach as a solution to this issue. In the second part, weshift our focus to enhancing education and fostering
reasoning abilities. By addressing conﬂicts and fosteringcollaborative augmented reasoning, we pave the way for
improved education. Lastly, we explore the alignment
between our efforts and the Sustainable Development
Goals (SDGs) and provide a glimpse into future
undertakings.
