The topic of President Trump’s announcement to withdraw from the WHO has sparked discussions. Honestly, some of you might feel like this is just another instance of something we’ve heard before. In today’s world, one-sided criticisms or outright rejections often dominate the news. However, I’d like to view this from a slightly different perspective.
What particularly caught my attention was the phrase “mishandling the situation.” I believe the key issue is not about assigning blame but about finding the next steps forward. Solving modern societal challenges requires deeper dialogue. Respecting history and culture while addressing the realities of modern technology is crucial. Only by doing this can we start envisioning a new future. That’s the mindset I bring to my projects.
For example, one lesson from this news is the importance of “the prerequisites for dialogue” in the international community. To confront an enormous challenge like a pandemic, the world needs to be aligned and look in the same direction. Yet, the reality seems far from it. Here, I wonder if we can create a new form of dialogue that fuses technology and culture.
My project focuses on designing a dialogue environment where no one feels excessively burdened, leveraging AI and data science. For instance, if we could establish a system using AI to process data from various countries fairly, it would foster trust. This foundation would allow nations to collaborate while respecting each other.
Ultimately, it is people who create the future. And for people to generate new value, they need a foundation supported by technology. What’s important is creating spaces where we can think about “how to move forward” together. To achieve this, understanding local culture and history, and integrating modern technology into it, is essential. This is the role we play at Sosha.
This project doesn’t aim for something grandiose from the start. Instead, it seeks to take small, steady steps to build practical models that can be applied in various situations. For instance, by focusing on community-based initiatives, we can explore new possibilities distinct from urban-centric solutions. Through such efforts, I believe we can begin shaping a truly self-sufficient society.
Now is the time for new challenges. Instead of merely assigning blame, we must focus on how to move forward together. Creating spaces for such discussions should be a priority. Would you like to join us in drawing up this blueprint for the future? Your ideas and actions, no matter how small, are welcome. What matters is the belief that each step contributes to new possibilities for dialogue. The future begins today, and I firmly believe in that.
