Keynote Speech 1

Dr. Hajime Hotta
Cinnamon AI Co-Founder, futurist
Abstract
Transformation is happening now at the global level. With plenty of technologies emerging simultaneously, theworld ten years later will be different from that as of now.
What will it look like? Futurology is an attempt to predict the future and explore future possibilities systematically.
One entrepreneur community called Singularity University, headquartered in California, is very aggressive in thefuturology and the presenter was also a part of their executive program. The experience was very exciting, which
never allowed us to talk about the present but we all talk as if we were all in 2045. In this presentation, I'll talkabout the latest predictions stated in the community and how we see them as a thought framework.
Biography
Dr. Hajime Hotta is an AI futurist, an early-stage investor, and a serial entrepreneur. He received Ph. D. with astudy of neural networks from Keio University, Japan, in 2008. He contributes to Series-D stage company,Cinnamon.AI, which provides unstructured data understanding solutions such as document readers and voice
transcription to 100+ big corporates, including Toyota. He recently published a book, “Double Harvest” inJapanese, ranked №1 in the business category in Amazon.

Keynote Speech 2Dr. Hongxia Yang
Director of AI, Alibaba
Abstract

Artificial intelligence has reached or surpassed human standards in the perceptual intelligence fields such as "listening, speaking,and seeing", but it is still in its infancy in the field of cognitive intelligence that requires external knowledge, logical reasoning, ordomain migration. After long-term exploration and verification of large-scale online businesses such as Taobao and Alipay, we havebuilt a "super brain" through the extremely large scale pre-training model M6, and built "flexible limbs" through the edge-cloud
collaboration platform Gemini, to fully present the comprehensive picture of the next generation of AI. The 10 trillion M6 is currently
the world’s largest pre-training model, achieving the industry’s ultimate low-carbon efficiency. Compared to GPT-3, M6 uses only
1% of the energy consumption which greatly promotes the development of ubiquitous AI. This year, M6 supported the world's
largest shopping festival Double 11 for the first time. Relying on its multi-modal understanding ability, M6 greatly improved searchand recommendation accuracy of Taobao and Alipay; with its smooth writing ability, M6 created scripts and copywriting for Tmall
virtual streamers; depending on its generated high-definition images, M6 has been on duty in Rhino Intelligent Manufacturing andincreased the efficiency of designers by 5 times. We developed Gemini, the industry's first edge-cloud collaborative learning
framework with the definition of five paradigms: cloud, edge, cloud-centric, edge-centric, and edge-cloud collaboration learningmodes. It not only protects data privacy, but also has outstanding performances in personalized recommendations. This talk we will
include details of state-of-the-art recommendation system in practice, M6 and Gemini.

Keynote Speech 3Dr. .Junku Yuh

President of Korea Institute of Robotics and Technology Convergence(KIRO)

Abstract

According to the recent IFR report, 3 million industrial robots are operating in factories around the world. The five major markets
for industrial robots are China, Japan, the United States, South Korea, and Germany. Various global trends, such as the fourthindustrial revolution, digital transformation (DX), trade tensions, demographic shift associated with an aging population, and social
distancing due to the COVID-19 pandemic, are driving the growing demand for robotics across industries and in all business sectors.
Many companies also consider nearshoring with automation as a solution to recent global value chain (GVC) issues. According tothe Association for Advancing Automation (A3), robot orders in the United States in the third quarter of 2021 were up 35% over thesame period in 2020. More than half of the orders are from non-automotive sectors.
This presentation will go over the timeline of innovation in robotics along with milestones of technical evolution. It will also discuss
how global trends drive the rise of robotics and what kind of programs major countries offer to stimulate innovation in robotics.
Before concluding remarks, various R&D activities carried out by KIRO researchers will also be introduced.

University, Cambridge, MA.

Keynote Speech 4

Dr. Hai Liang (Duncan) Lee

Principal Engineer, IT at Intel Corporation

Abstract
In the keynote, the audience will be grounded on the high level description of Intel manufacturing and theautomation systems which forms the backbone our factories. Many have the misnomer that deriving the AI
approach and model takes the most time. However that is not what we experience in Intel. We find thatwe spent most of the time doing data preparation and refinement. AI is not a silver bullet which solves
most of the problems in the factory. We only apply AI in certain areas or problems. I will share acompilation of AI Use cases and dive deeper into 2 use case before ending with a summarized takeaway
points for the audience
BiographyDuncan Lee is a Principal Engineer in Intel Manufacturing IT with 30 years of IT experience (2 of which is in theUnited States). He also works on innovative capabilities like AI , IOT, big data analytics to improve the productquality, yield and performance of the factory. Recent successful projects include driving factory machine uptime
thru enabling integration cross module PCS, productivity thru predictive preventive maintenance and defectreduction using image analytics (AI and statistics). Duncan architects and integrates various IT/OT capabilities toimprove factory performance. Duncan is also a member of the AI Compute Patent Committee in Intel. Duncan
has published multiple internal papers and presented key notes in various industrial conferences in Malaysia,China, Singapore, Vietnam and Japan.
