​2. The Return to the Local through "Ikigai" : Crafting the Future of Living Landscapes

​​Speaker: Ryo Osera

• ​​​Organization & Title:Co-founder of Colive Fukuoka / Specially Appointed Associate Professor, Kanazawa University

• ​​​Personal Bio :Ryo Osera is the co-founder of Colive Fukuoka, awarded "Best Global Nomad Fest 2025." As a Specially Appointed Associate Professor at Kanazawa University, he integrates "Ikigai" into community design, leveraging AI to free human intuition and connect global digital nomads with the authentic emotional value of local landscapes.

• ​​​Talk Abstract :In an era where AI dominates logical processing and efficiency, Ryo Osera—founder of the award-winning "Best Global Nomad Fest 2025," Colive Fukuoka—sees a profound shift: global elites are seeking "Ikigai" (a reason for being).

​As AI takes over exponential data processing, true value is migrating toward emotional fulfillment and primordial connections to the earth—the soil, wind, sea, and sky. Ryo argues that these essential bonds, increasingly rare in hyper-developed urban centers, are the very things creative elites seek in rural landscapes. He believes that "analog" regions, where authentic daily life remains untouched, are the new frontiers for high-value creation.

​In this session, Ryo redefines AI not just as a tool for efficiency, but as a catalyst that frees human time to amplify intuition and weave deeper community ties. He will share the philosophy behind Colive Fukuoka’s concept-making, illustrating how embedding "Ikigai" into community design serves as a 30-year blueprint for regional revitalization. By preparing locales to prioritize emotional depth over pure logic, regions can transform into magnets for the world’s most talented creative elite.

​3.Growing Your Own Tools: Training AI Co-Creation Thinking Through Six Taitung Practices

​​Speaker: Kai

• ​​​Organization & Title:Co-founder, Transtation Lab Project Manager, Taitung Youth Volunteer Center, Youth Development Administration, Ministry of Education Project Manager, Co-create Planning & Design Consultancy 2nd-Term Committee Member, Deputy Convener & Group Leader, Taitung County Youth Affairs Development Committee

• ​​​Personal Bio : Kai, a university student in Taitung, works across civic engagement, place-based design, and AI co-creation. Co-founder of Transtation Lab and project manager at the Taitung Youth Volunteer Center, he builds tools and platforms that grow from local context—exploring how human-AI collaboration becomes a method for seeing place and serving community.

• ​​​Talk Abstract :What if AI isn't a tool you use, but a thinking partner you train? This talk explores AI co-creation as a method for growing your own tools—from daily life, work, and the places we inhabit. Drawing from a vibe-coding practice rooted in Taitung, I'll share six projects: TAITUNG LOOP, a circular sustainability platform for Taitung; Neighbor Woods (林事), a citizen-science map of urban trees; the Transtation Lab website; Tshamsiong (參詳), a grants database and proposal-writing assistant; Parcel, a platform for content sharing with structured responses; and Bond (棒ㄉ), a social platform for event information and discovery. Each case shows how AI collaboration reshapes the gap between idea and infrastructure—letting one person grow systems that previously needed a team. For digital nomads and local designers alike, this is an invitation to rethink AI: not as productivity shortcut, but as a slow, collaborative way of seeing and shaping the places we live.
