AI × Manga Exhibition

In this event, Monogatari Lab took charge of the production of manga. Monogatari Lab is a script production team led by Norihiro Koizumi of ROBOT COMMUNICATIONS INC., who is known as the director of movies, "Chihayafuru" series and " Kanojo wa Uso o Aishisugiteru (She Loves Lies Too Much)." Here on show are two pieces of original content that you can watch nowhere else other than METoA Ginza.
One of those is called What it means to "AI" (Love) which features a strange feeling towards AI that is not quite called love. The other is titled "On This Planet Under the Same Sky," which addresses problems arising from divide between industrialized nations and developing countries, environmental issues, and the way of working. You can enjoy the latter projected on a 1.7m giant screen.

You can experience what is like to be in the world of manga, as a manga character moves in line with your poses. For example, if you pick up an object on the floor, would it be regarded as trash picking or a suspicious behavior? In such a situation difficult to determine, an annotator's judgement (or values) plays a pivotal role in data labeling. You can experience events like this, which might possibly happen in a future where we live with AI.

This is an experience, in which you will provide annotation (i.e., data labeling) for an answer that you think correct, as each image is shown. You will have to use your own judgement to answer various questions, from simple ones, such as "dog or fox?," to more difficult ones to determine, such as a person who is seemingly taking a photo as "suspicious behavior or simply taking a view?" At the end of the experience, you will find out how different your decisions are to others'. In doing so, you will realize the gap in values between individuals. We hope this experience will inspire you to think about how the results of data annotation by the majority affect the learning of AI models.

On the 3rd floor at METoA Ginza, the exhibition on the theme of "Changes for the Better” shows how the Mitsubishi Electric Group employees are approaching their jobs for the realization of a vibrant and sustainable society. You can experience what our future lifestyle will be and how society will change, when remote-control robots and AI are fully integrated in our daily lives. Also on show are some of the thoughts of developers involved in the technologies exhibited here.

Mitsubishi Electric aims to help solve problems regarding shop floor work, shortage/excess of labor force, and transportation energy issues. To this end, we develop remote-control robots that can be operated simply and intuitively, using "visual haptics" technology, which allows robots to feel the touch through vision when they hold objects.
In this event, you will remotely operate robots, using your smartphone, in challenging environments for human to work, such as on the coast, at a pile of waste, and in mountains. We hope you will think about how robots can help solve these social problems through this experience.

"Detective Ai's Case Files" is a game, in which you will solve a mystery as one of characters in the story, with the aim of clarifying the “mystery (deduction process)” as to how an AI system arrives at its conclusions. By clarifying what thinking is behind the conclusion, you can experience how the deduction process of black-box AI models can be made transparent.
