President and Chief Executive Officer | Chief AI Officer, NTT DATA, Inc.

The World Economic Forum is a vital platform for shaping our shared future through dialogue. This year’s theme, “A Spirit of Dialogue,” is timely as we face geopolitical fragmentation, economic uncertainty, and the transformative rise of artificial intelligence. In this environment, open collaboration is the key to progress.

At NTT DATA, we believe innovation must serve humanity. AI can redefine progress—but only if developed responsibly. Responsible AI is a shared duty, grounded in transparency, ethics, and empathy.

Our partnership with the Forum reflects this belief, though initiatives like the Centers for Fourth Industrial Revolution, Advanced Manufacturing, Nature and Climate, and Urban Transformation. Innovation without dialogue risks isolation; dialogue without action risks irrelevance. Together, we can make the age of AI not just intelligent—but profoundly human.
