<Abstract>
Artificial intelligence (AI) represents a new front line for the world and is powerfully reshaping the global economy. In this presentation, acclaimed sociologist Anthony Elliott reviews developments in AI, focusing especially on both policy and practical responses in Australia and Japan. The presentation will also introduce some recent research supported by the Toyota Foundation on changes now occurring in elderly care, associated with a raft of AI technologies. Elliott argues that personal life today is increasingly intertwined with networked technological systems and human-machine configurations, including relations with social robots. He concludes by highlighting the mix of opportunities and risks that the culture of AI portends.
