The conference will focus on three key themes: "Practical Application of Artificial Consciousness," "Redefining 20 Industries," and "Updating Social Systems." In addition to announcing and demonstrating alt's new product "Personaloid," the conference will discuss Japan's winning strategy in the AI industry, cutting-edge technologies for "consciousness uploading" through the fusion of brain science and digital technology, and the transformative power of clone matching technology to disruptively change industries such as mergers and acquisitions, real estate, recruitment, and finance. The conference will also address the legal frameworks, ethics, and economic systems required to accommodate these technological innovations, discussing the need for flexible and effective institutional design.
All participants will receive a "simplified AI clone" generated from their biometric data, allowing them to experience how their digital clone can be utilized in business settings. Industry-specific solution consultation booths staffed by experts from finance, manufacturing, healthcare, and other fields will offer concrete suggestions for the use of digital clones. Furthermore, attendees will receive early access to the "Digital Clone Operation Guidelines (Draft)" being jointly developed with the government, providing advance insight into the ethical and legal considerations and guidelines for implementing digital clones.

With the evolution of P.A.I. technology, digital resurrection is no longer a fantasy. However, how we design that future depends on our choices. alt Conference 2025 aims to present those options and open the door to a new future, while also reexamining the true liberation that P.A.I. technology can bring to humanity.
Just as past industrial revolutions liberated human physical capabilities, the digital intelligence revolution will free our minds and creativity, leading us to intellectual heights previously unimaginable. alt will take a leading role in this transformation, showing the path forward. This marks the beginning of a persistent intelligence that transcends biological limitations and a new world where all beings can express higher-dimensional creativity.
We invite you to experience this moment when the future of industry, economy, society, and humanity undergoes significant transformation.
