As reported in today’s Nikkei article, “JFTC Recruits Digital Talent from Private Sector, Also to Assist with Investigations into Tech Giants”, I have been appointed a Digital Special Advisor to the Japan Fair Trade Commission. The following 4 individuals were appointed.
- Tatsuya Kurosaka (5G, AI), Representative Director, Kuwadate Inc.
- Hiroshi Nakagawa (AI), Team Leader, RIKEN Center for Advanced Intelligence Project
- Shinsuke Hirose (digital advertising), Representative Director, D-Teller
- Natsuhiko Sakimura (digital ID, personal information)
I wonder whether someone like me belongs among such distinguished people, but I hope to be of help, modest though my contribution may be.
