[Speaker] Keigo Shibagaki, Director CAIO, Japan Cable Lab, General Incorporated Association [Key Lecture Content] With the rapid evolution of AI, industrial structures, business domains, values, and lifestyles are undergoing significant changes. Some businesses and industries may disappear in an instant. What will not disappear, no matter how much AI evolves, is the homes where people live. Regional businesses, like cable services, which are close to these enduring end users, will be reevaluated in an AI-centric society. How businesses incorporate AI and connect it to growth is crucial. A misstep could lead to being overwhelmed by the wave of AI evolution, resulting in wasted efforts and unnecessary investments. In this lecture, we will discuss how businesses can engage with AI to protect and grow their operations, touching on the direction of technological evolution related to AI, the content of Japan Cable Lab's "Cable AI," and also the AI development engineering at Japan Cable Lab.

To comply with regulations, traceability, and data integrity, the adoption of LIMS and ELN is progressing, along with the networking of analytical instruments such as chromatography and mass spectrometry. However, while automated data collection and centralized management are advancing, new barriers associated with connectivity are also becoming apparent. Data silos due to inconsistent standards among equipment manufacturers, the difficulty of system integration caused by vendor lock-in, as well as cybersecurity risks and significant variations in the IT literacy of researchers and technicians conducting experiments on-site, are major bottlenecks. In this online seminar, we will introduce our next-generation premium electronic balance, the new product "Cubis III," which is gaining attention as one of the solutions to these challenges. We hope you will join us!
