Contemporary artist and AI developer Nozomu Kubota launches newsletter on professional writing platform "theLetter"

OutNow Inc. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Itaru Hamamoto) announced that contemporary artist Nozomu Kubota has begun distributing content as a new writer on "theLetter," a stock-type writing platform for professionals and experts.

Comment from Nozomu Kubota:

While AI identifies "correctness" and "standards" from vast amounts of data, it quietly overlooks those that deviate from them. I believe that within these overlooked elements lie the traces of someone's life, voice, and existence.

On theLetter, I want to write about AI and ethics not merely as a technical discussion, but as a space to re-examine our own perspectives and how society categorizes things. In the age of AI, what will be considered normal, and what will be excluded as outliers? I would be happy to deepen this question together with my readers.
