AI Safety: how to build a human-centered future
von Le Wagon Tokyo
Über das Event
As AI rapidly reshapes the way we work and think, the conversation around safety is becoming more urgent, and more complex. Following our recent AI safety panel, one thing is clear: some of the biggest risks are already present, in the subtle ways AI is currently influencing our decisions, trust, and behavior.
Join us for an exclusive panel with Ken Mogi, one of Japan’s leading voices on consciousness, creativity, and the future of human intelligence. Ken Mogi brings a unique perspective at the intersection of neuroscience and technology. Rather than asking how we control AI, he challenges us to rethink its role entirely, where AI enhances human capability, while we remain at the center of meaning, judgment, and values.

Beyond academia, Mogi is a well-known media figure, having hosted numerous TV and radio programs on NHK and Discovery Channel Japan, and appearing internationally on shows such as Closer to Truth and a Bloomberg documentary hosted by Hannah Fry. His research centers on consciousness, particularly qualia and free will, and he has gained global recognition through his books on ikigai, which have been published worldwide and achieved major commercial success. His recent English-language works include The Way of Nagomi and Think Like a Stoic, further expanding his international reach.
