Oct 14 (News On Japan) - This year's Nobel Prizes have recognized groundbreaking research related to artificial intelligence (AI), with awards in both Physics and Chemistry.
AI continues to astonish the world with its rapid advancements, and the Nobel Prizes reflect the significance of these developments. In the Chemistry category, three researchers were honored for their work on AI technologies that predict protein structures, a breakthrough aiding in cancer treatment discoveries.
In Japan, efforts to bring AI to practical use are progressing, including the development of AI-assisted earphones by JVC Kenwood. These earphones are equipped with a camera that allows AI to interpret objects, such as reading supermarket flyers to suggest meals and provide recipes. The earphones also feature facial recognition capabilities, offering potential applications in everyday life.
AI's potential extends further, with new technologies that can detect emotions through brainwave analysis. This innovation, developed by Tokyo University of the Arts, could help in treating patients with emotional development disorders, with practical use expected in the next one to two years. The ongoing expansion of AI applications continues to impress, offering new possibilities in both healthcare and daily life.
