November 13th is the first day of the Yokohama APEC summit. The leaders of the 21 regional economies have been put up at a hotel in the form of a huge sail on the Tokyo Bay shores.

One of his programs aims to imbue computers with nonverbal communication abilities so that AIs collaborating with people can integrate a human being’s facial and gestural cues with written and oral ones.
