Organizations and individuals are facing tremendous challenges in today’s workplace. How work gets done, when and where work gets done and now who does the work are key questions that leaders have to tackle. In this symposium we will address the impact of Artificial Intelligence on the future of work. How can new technology tools like generative AI improve productivity and product quality for firms, as well as flexibility and job quality for workers? How can we tackle workforce development in new ways to gear up for this paradigm shift in the workplace?
The 2025 MIT Japan Conference will explore future research trends at MIT, highlighting breakthroughs in key areas such as Soft Materials and Mechanics, Biomedical Innovation, and the impact of Generative AI (GAI) on the Work of the Future. Additional sessions will focus on Quantum and Silicon Photonics, Nanotechnology in materials and additive manufacturing, and the latest Machine Learning and AI tools for chemical discovery. Advances in semiconductor technology, hydrogen innovation, and electrochemistry, as well as thermofluidic interfaces, will also be featured.

This year’s theme will be built around ensuring the durability of the energy transition in the face of future unknowns.
The Dubai Police is offering a partnership opportunity for the Smart City Naif project in Dubai. This concept revolves around the deployment of stable sensor networks for pedestrian movement detection, a comprehensive multimodal traffic overview system (car, pedestrian, bike), real-time incident detection, and Al based automated patrol alerts. Additionally, a physical and digital augmented 3D model will provide an interactive platform for decision-making at Naif police station.
