Nuclear Innovation Supporting AI Society: Seminar by Professor Ken Kurosaki

Nuclear Innovation Supporting AI Society

On April 9, 2026, a significant seminar titled "Nuclear Innovation Supporting AI Society" will be held, featuring Professor Ken Kurosaki, the head of the Institute for Integrated Nuclear Science at Kyoto University. This event promises to shine light on how next-generation nuclear innovations can enhance an AI-driven society.

The even will start at 10 AM and run until noon, available via live streaming on Zoom, allowing participants to also access an archive of the session for two weeks afterward.

Seminar Overview

This seminar comes at a crucial time as the Japanese government has recently revised the 7th Basic Energy Plan, which acknowledges a shift from a decrease to an increase in future electricity demand. The plan clearly states the need to maximize nuclear energy utilization as part of Japan's energy strategy. This change has been largely influenced by rapid advancements in AI technology, including generative AI.

With the emergence of an AI society, reliable and sustainable energy sources are becoming increasingly essential. Nuclear power is being repositioned as a vital part of this energy mix. The seminar will address the need for nuclear innovation, including the development of next-generation reactors and ensuring the availability of skilled personnel in the field.

The seminar will cover several key areas, including:
1. An introduction to the topic
2. Overview of the 7th Basic Energy Plan
3. What is required in the age of AI
4. The advantages and challenges of nuclear power
5. Innovations in nuclear technology, from Small Modular Reactors (SMR) to nuclear fusion
6. Workforce development in the nuclear sector
7. Conclusion and summary of key points
8. Question and answer session
