〇Yasuyuki Nakajima (KDDI Research Inc., Japan)

Various activities toward digital transformation have been taking place in such areas as advanced marketing, high level medical image diagnosis and intelligent telecommunication network operations based on bigdata analytics and AI as well as RPA(Robotic Process Automation ) for efficient office work. In other area like automobile industry, the number of connected cars are gradually increased whereas various PoC(Proof of Concepts) experiments of autonomous cars have been carried out not only in automobile manufacturers but also in OTT (Over The Top) players such as Google.
In business fields, cash less economy such as QR code payment has been rapidly expanded in China and its impact has been spread out everywhere like Japan. Sharing economy and subscription model are also new movements all over the world. In the former, people can easily find/put items online they want to use/rent, and they can save/earn some money instantaneously. In the latter, service providers can obtain regular basis revenue whereas customers can enjoy services such as online music at small cost each month.
In this presentation we will discuss how these trends will be accelerated and advanced in the 5G/Post 5G era.
