Going somewhere, talking to someone, choosing something—what is happening inside our brains behind these casual actions and decisions? Professor Hiroshi Makino of the Keio University School of Medicine Department of Physiology is attempting to approach the mechanism of "intelligence," one of humanity's greatest mysteries, from both theoretical and experimental perspectives by boldly integrating cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) technology with traditional biological approaches. By wielding the two "weapons" of brain science and AI, he is expanding the possibilities of his research to include analyzing complex phenomena occurring within the brain, improving the intelligence of next-generation AI, and even elucidating mental disorders and simulating human society. In the first part of "AI x Philosophy and Ethics: Unlocking the Future of Humanity through Biological 'Intelligence'," we look at the future vision of "well-being" envisioned by this unique "dual-wielding" researcher.
