[DevOpsDays Tokyo 2024] 〜デジタルとアナログのはざまに〜 スマートビルディング爆速開発を支える 自動化テスト戦略
Professor Hiroshi ESAKI talks about Internet of Design
1. Hiroshi ESAKI, Ph.D,
Professor, The University of Tokyo,
Board of Trustee, Internet Society,
Director, WIDE Project
AI/Data and ”The” Internet
2. CHALLENGES & OPPORTUNITIES OF THE INTERNET
1. Trust
2. De-Silo-ing against fragmentation, i.e., internets but
the Internet
3. Edge-heavy (distributed and autonomous) computing
4. Native Digital, toward Internet of Functions (IoF) &
Cyber-First
5. Global and/versus local (”national”) policies
6. Internet-by-Design
• Not only “technology”, but also “architecture (“gene”)”

8. What you must do is only attaching a module !!
Your smart-phone becomes an intelligent smart key,
with awesome “new” functions.
Legacy functions were only 3, identify, open and close.
Thumb-turn

9. Sharing
Economy
…Key has 4,000
yeas history
Important point;
“digital” key can obtain
infinite doodling capability for
new value !!!
Physical key is an obstacle for
digital innovation !!!
Since key was “physical” object,
we start to recognize a lot of
inconvenience for sharing
economy

10. Well,…… what we are realizing;
Physical objects (e.g., key or money) are just of temporal
appearance, as a physical instance, when we do realize
Cyber-First.
1. Software module, with micro-service, has ”mobility”
with virtualization(= abstraction = digitization)
2. Some functions(=codes) are printed out to physical
object, called as “thing”, from cyber space.
Then,
Internet of Things (IoT)
Internet of Functions (IoF)

Hi, it is my honor and pleasure to have a presentation, even in video
message, about AI and the Internet.
This is Hiroshi Esaki, who is a professor of the University of Tokyo, and is serving as a board of Trustee of the Internet Society, which has been leading Internet technology and governance since 1992, and serving as a director of WIDE project which initiated and leaded the Internet development in Japan since 1988.
Today, I want to talk about my view on AI, data and the Internet.
This slide shows the challenges and opportunities of the recent Internet.
These are
Trust of data and information provided by the Internet
Fragmentation of the Internet
Edge-computing, from centralized computing at fragmented data centers
Cyber First and Internet of Functions, rather than Internet of Things
Global versus national on policy making
And, the digital transformation of all the industry segments based on Internet-by-Design.
Because of time restriction, today, I want to talk about item 2 and item 4.
First, about de-silo-ing.
The system before the Internet in IT and ICT industry was stove and pipe structure, which is aiming the vertical lock-on business structure.
This structure is also seen in a lot of existing industries.
And, this is a big obstacle and hurdle for the full deployment of digital transformation or digital innovation with BigData with AI.
Now, what we have to achieve is de-silo-ing of this business structure.
This means, we have to change the existing stove and pipe business structure to horizontal cooperative global system with data-centric platform.
This is because IoT people loves own private silo, and this is the risk of the Internet by Internet of Things, or maybe by the AI and BigData.
This is because AI and BugDate people may also love their own private silo.
This structure leads:
Not “the” Internet without capital I, but an internet
Poor security measures, because of private silo, which is not directly connected to the Internet
Closed open source cloud platforms, which do not have appropriate interoperability for end users.
This is the strategy, to achieve data sharing platform among all the industries for Society 5.0, which was published in April of 2018 by Japanese government.
I have served as a chair of this discussion.
Standardization is not purpose,
Internetworking is the first priority
Now, we got protocol translation capability for internetworking
We need technical transparency for interconnect
Should build agile development platform, rather than historical water-fall development
And, sharing of experiences among all stakeholders for coopetition and cooperation.
Now, about Unwire-ing (or we could say “unbundling”) of functions and services by digital-by-design
Digitalization and virtualization lead the migration from the current digital twin to the cyber first
And, also leading Internet of Things to Internet of Functions.
This result came from the consideration on digital key or digital cash.
Key has only three functions, which are identification, open and close. When we digitize the physical key to digital key, you can obtain the additional awesome new functions.
You can control when and who can use the key, and obtain how the room is used, which is never grasped by us. Also, when you loose key, you do not need to care, because you can easily issue new keys with invalidation of lost key.
In the case of digital cash, as all of you realized, a lot of new values can be obtained by digitization.
Digitized key or money can obtain infinite doodling capability for new values, and physical object status of key and money is a big inconvenience and obstacle for sharing economy or digital innovation.
So, we can recognize that physical object, such as key or money are just temporal appearance, as a physical instance, when we recognize these objects by cyber first.
Software module, which is sometime called as micro-service, has “mobility” by virtualization, abstraction and digitization.
And, some functions, which is codes, are printed out to physical object, which is called as thing, from cyber-space.
Now, cyber space may be far larger than physical space.
Then, I think we are entering in to Internet of Functions (IoF) from Internet of Things (IoT).
Actually, one typical example would be 5G in mobile networks.
Functions can be generated in cyber space and can move around both in cyber space and in physical space. Sometime, printed out to physical space, but is actually included in cyber space.
