Japan, Hong Kong, and the United States offer three contrasting models of the same underlying technology. Japan's adoption is culture-led and enterprise-embedded, shaped by an aging workforce and a tradition of human-machine collaboration. Students will see this directly through a visit to Kashiwa-no-ha Smart City, where AI is integrated into health, mobility, and urban planning as part of a society-wide response to demographic change. Hong Kong's adoption is policy-driven, where regulation and market structure shape how the same technologies are deployed. Students will see this directly through company visits in Hong Kong's AI sector and a U.S. Consulate briefing on the policy environment. The United States is the most market-driven of the three, paced by competitive pressure, customer demand, and capital allocation, with public debate focused on job displacement and the environmental cost of large-scale computing. Students bring this American context with them as the implicit third case in every visit.
