Associate Professor, Faculty of Advanced Science and Technology, Kumamoto University

In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI), including ChatGPT, has garnered tremendous attention. My research focuses on the practical application of machine learning, its core technology, in real-world contexts such as healthcare. In my previous role, I worked at a university hospital for ten years, involved in developing lifestyle disease prevention programmes utilising information technology in developing countries. I am engaged in research on XAI (Explainable AI), which explains why machine learning produces certain results, aiming to make AI more accessible to everyone.
