Who decides which technologies are "acceptable to use" in the age of AI? ELSI and the future of location information: A discussion with Professor Kishimoto of Osaka University
This discussion focuses on "ELSI (Ethical, Legal, and Social Issues)," an essential theme in an era of expanding AI and location data utilization. Rather than a simple choice between "proceed because it's convenient" or "stop because it's dangerous," the discussion explores how much risk society is willing to accept. From the background of the LBMA Japan's location data utilization guidelines to the role of humanities and social sciences in the age of generative AI, and the perspectives necessary for the social implementation of technology, the speaker provided a clear and in-depth explanation.
Speaker：Professor Mitsuo Kishimoto, Director, Center for Co-creation of Social Technology, Osaka University

Location Weekly Japan is a podcast run by LBMA Japan (Location Business & Marketing Japan), a general incorporated association that promotes business marketing services using location data. Every week, we interview management and business personnel from member companies, introduce the latest examples of location data usage, and share notable events around the world, as well as behind-the-scenes stories that can only be heard here.
As we are an organization with many IT-related members, you will hear a lot of foreign words, but in this podcast we will introduce examples of how location data is being used in a way that is as easy to understand as possible, so please feel free to listen.
