On July 23, 2021 (Reiwa 3), at my home under the sky in Dalian, I watched the sight of five Air Self-Defense Force aircraft drawing an Olympic ring on Japanese television. The same scene was said to be the birthplace of Tokyo Asakusa and Asakusa entertainers after 3:00 pm on October 10, 1964, or the rooftop of the Shochiku Engeijo that produced them. So, like this time, I was just looking at the “Olympic Ring” drawn in the clear blue sky when I was just 20 years old.

58 years have passed since then. At the age of 40, he moved to Beijing to study abroad, and at the age of 44 he moved to Taiwan and was hired to serve as president for six years. After that, at the age of 50, he founded “Dalian Aiko” in the land of Golden Pebble Beach in Dalian. Twenty-eight years later, July 23, 2021 (Reiwa 3): Under the sky of Dalian, I watched the clouds of the TOKYO 2020 Olympics on Japanese TV images … a few days ago, I was deeply impressed through the TV. rice field.

In these days when the world has changed, the current world has changed the lifestyle of all people by corona. Until just before Corona, everything in the industry was like “AI is the top priority.” And it seemed that the industry was no longer concentrating only here, with the unanimous idea that this AI is the best thing that will bring wealth to the future. Good or bad … However, the appearance of this corona seems to be stripping the fangs as a murder virus that can kill us people, as if denying the survival of humankind itself. At present, the situation that should be considered is not only AI but also “corona is also the highest priority” and both sides are nervous.

The Japanese people are delighted with the medal rush Olympics, starting with the gold medal acquisition of Judo’s Hifumi Abe and poetry brothers and sisters. On the other hand, Corona’s witch is extending its fangs from the metropolitan area to local cities at a speed far faster than expected. In August, the number of infected people nationwide is increasing to over 10,000 per day. The mutant virus “Delta strain” from India, which is said to be more infectious, is gaining more than 90%, especially in the Tokyo metropolitan area. However, even after the Olympics are over, the Paralympics still remain. Will it be possible to hold the Paralympics in this situation? …I’m worried!

Since 2000, the Fourth Industrial Revolution has occurred, and a big wave represented by the AI revolution has arrived in the world. In just 20 years or so, revolutionary reforms in various aspects such as the world’s economy, industry, and commerce have overturned the traditional activities of humankind. As many human beings follow the response, they are looking for a direction toward the arrival of the AI society. It is a sweep of the world by Corona at the tip of the arrow. At the same time as the AI revolution, which was already a major reform, we have to devote ourselves to the reform of lifestyle by Corona. Just by seeing the Tokyo Olympics in Corona, you can realize the horror of the devil’s hand.

All conventional social methods have been wiped out. Currently, that is the situation.

Still, the calamity of Corona will continue.

For me, who pulls small and medium-sized enterprises, it is a big big “mountain of problems” that I can’t help. It is a new post-corona world that is forced to change in every aspect such as social form, industrial form, corporate form, work form, etc. In such a situation … In the quest, the road to walk is steep! But I have to live.

Is it possible to predict things like this, assuming that AI technology has evolved further in the future? For the time being, the decision to open up a new future was in August 2021 (Reiwa 3), when I felt again that I would like to narrow down my wisdom together with excellent employees and all, not AI. ..
