情報・システムは、今や私たちの日常生活から産業・社会基盤に至るまで、あらゆる場面を支える不可欠な存在となりました。特に生成AIの進展はめざましく、私たちの創造性を引き出し、新たな価値を生み出す強力な道具として活用が広がっています。一方で、生成AIへの過度な依存が判断力や批判的思考を弱め、知識の空洞化を招くのではないかという懸念も生じています。このような状況だからこそ、情報・システムソサイエティは、人と人が真摯に向き合い、互いの知を高め合う「共創の場」を提供することが重要だと考えます。多様なバックグラウンドを持つ研究者・技術者・学生が研究成果を持ち寄り、時に批判的思考を交えながら建設的な議論を通じて知を磨くプロセスは、産学の壁や世代間の隔たり、研究分野の境界を越え、新たな技術潮流を切り拓く原動力になると考えます。このような魅力ある共創の場を実現するため、研究会の企画・運営支援や論文誌のさらなる活性化、国際会議・国際ワークショップとの連携強化に加え、対面交流を促進する企画にも積極的に取り組んでまいります。

Information and systems technologies have become indispensable foundations that support every aspect of our lives―from daily activities to industrial and societal infrastructures. In particular, the rapid advancement of generative AI has expanded its use as a powerful tool that enhances our creativity and fosters new value creation. At the same time, concerns have emerged that excessive reliance on generative AI may diminish human judgment, weaken critical thinking, and lead to a hollowing out of knowledge. Precisely because of these circumstances, I believe that the Information and Systems Society must play a vital role in providing a “forum for co-creation” where people engage sincerely with one another and mutually enrich their knowledge. The process in which researchers, engineers, and students from diverse backgrounds come together, refine their ideas through constructive discussions―sometimes with critical perspectives―serves as a driving force that transcends boundaries between industry and academia, generations, and research domains, thereby opening new technological frontiers. To cultivate such an attractive and vibrant forum for co-creation, we will actively promote initiatives, including support for planning and operating technical meetings, further revitalization of our journals, strengthened collaboration with international conferences and workshops, and programs that encourage face-to-face interaction among our members.
