They have (arguably) always been fairly fond of digital intelligence as it has evolved through various decades and iterations that have taken it from the AI we used to consider ‘like in the movies’ throughout the quarter century before the millennium – as it has now progressed to become the AI ‘that’s really real with generative-AI at the fore’ that we consider today. Because of these core realities, there’s a special relationship between data science, machine learning science and indeed human brain science. Now working to support this emerging field is NTT Research with its NTT Fellowship Program as part of the NTT Research Foundation.
