immedio Inc. will hold AI Growth Camp 2026 on Thursday, November 12, 2026, at Aoyama Grand Hall in Minato-ku, Tokyo. Keynote speakers are Keiji Tomohiro, who led Fujitsu's digital sales organization from three people in 2020 to roughly 130, and Shoichi Nakagawa, former Executive Officer and CMO of Timee. Panelists come from LayerX, Techtouch, NOT A HOTEL, and Sansan.
In an interview, anime critic Ryota Fujitsu argues that anime's growing popularity is leading to its commodification, turning it into a mass-produced product indistinguishable from other entertainment. He warns that anime will lose its artistic identity and become interchangeable, with generative AI tools accelerating this trend. The piece also addresses the Japanese government's recent funding initiative, which encourages AI translation to combat piracy, a move some outlets have misread.
