An announcement that the editor-in-chief of GIGAZINE will be holding a free talk event titled 'Does Superintelligence Dream of Creation?'

Date and time : Sunday, May 11, 2025, 12:30-13:30

Location : Theater 2 at ufotable CINEMA in Tokushima
Address: 1-5-3 Higashishinmachi, Tokushima City, Tokushima Prefecture


Content : In a recent survey conducted on April 2, 2025, we asked readers what they wanted to hear about superintelligence, and we received thousands of questions from them. This talk will be focused on answering those questions. The first half will be a presentation of my thoughts, and the second half will be a Q&A session with everyone who made it to the venue.




This time, you are free to take photos, videos, and audio recordings at the venue, but there are two conditions:

・1: Don't post it online!
It's an ironclad rule between me and the editor-in-chief!

・2: Please provide the data when the editor-in-chief writes an article about this lecture later!
At the end of the presentation, we will display a limited-time QR code that will allow you to send data to the GIGAZINE editorial department's secret safe, so if you upload your data from there, the editor-in-chief will be delighted!
