Virtual Seminar Series Index

The Keio University Global Research Institute (KGRI) aims to promote international research and educational exchange and invites (virtually) those working in the forefront of research and education in Japan and overseas to give lectures. These lectures are then archived and made widely available for general access.

Video recordings of the KGRI Virtual Seminar Series "Japan and the World in the Era of COVID-19: Considering whether the new paradigm is a crisis or an opportunity" were only being made public until the end of October 2020, and have now been deleted.

Data and Security as the U.S. and China Face Off

As tensions escalate between the U.S. and China, data security is a hot-button issue. Some in the U.S. are banning Chinese-developed TikTok from government devices, citing security concerns. The emergence of powerful artificial-intelligence programs suggests that whoever controls the most data may control the future of business. Mutual suspicion is rising, along with efforts to restrict the transfer of any technology deemed sensitive.How should Japan and other Asian countries navigate the heightened tensions? Is Japan doing enough to protect its own data and respond to intrusions? Can countries build rules of the road that would limit the mistrust and allow data to be used for the common good? This event was part of the WSJ Future Leaders Seminar.
