Understanding Wi-Fi Router Indicators: A Guide to Device Operation

Generative artificial intelligence is becoming increasingly relevant in the Japanese gaming industry. According to preliminary data released by the Computer Entertainment Supplier’s Association (CESA), 85.8% of surveyed professionals confirmed the use of generative AI tools in their development activities.

These figures were presented during the Tokyo Game Show 2026 and constitute a preview of the 2026 Video Game Industry Report, the full version of which will be released in December. The survey collected approximately 1,349 valid responses from professionals affiliated with industry companies, including names such as Capcom, Sega, Level-5, and Konami.

The research points to a notable integration of this technology into work routines. Among participants, 63% reported using generative AI daily, while another 22.8% use it sporadically.

Comparing with a study conducted by CESA in 2025, which identified an adoption rate of 51% among 54 Japanese companies surveyed, a growth trend is observed, although researchers warn that differences in samples and audiences prevent a direct percentage comparison of the evolution.

The main benefits highlighted by professionals include increased productivity, reduced time needed to create games, and lower production costs.

The preview of the 2026 report does not yet specify which tasks are the focus of the technology's use. However, the previous 2025 survey provided references regarding its applications, indicating that the most common uses involved creating visual elements and images, generating text and narrative content, in addition to assisting with programming.

At that time, 32% of participating companies also mentioned employing artificial intelligence in the development of internal graphics engines. The implementation of these tools can help automate certain functions and streamline production phases, but their final results remain dependent on human evaluation and oversight.

Despite the expansion, the use of generative AI raises concerns related to intellectual property and the quality of the produced material. According to the investigation, the most cited safety measure by participants was the need for human review, correction, and supervision of AI-generated content. Other precautions adopted include designating tools permitted by corporations and limiting the direct use of content without professional intervention.

Tsutomu Masuda, CEO of CESA, commented that the findings demonstrate widespread and constant adoption of artificial intelligence in development environments. He also emphasized the importance of harmonizing technological progress with safeguarding intellectual property rights and preserving people-focused creative processes.

The full report, scheduled for December 2026, should offer more details on how Japanese professionals are integrating generative AI into game manufacturing.

Archaeological research is being conducted in Uzbekistan, where Wang Shujing is working in a laboratory in Bukhara region on the joint study of an ancient burial along the Silk Road. Using 3D modeling technology, the original layout of the Gamkhurd I burial complex is gradually being reconstructed on a computer screen.

Wang, representing the School of Archaeology and Museology at Peking University, heads the Chinese side of the archaeological expedition, which began in August 2025 in collaboration with the Samarkand Archaeological Institute. The team's work includes field excavations of the Gamkhurd I burial ground, located where the desert steppe meets the oasis of Bukhara in the Navoi region.

Based on the characteristics of the discovered burial structures, the joint archaeological group has preliminarily dated this burial site to the period between the 2nd century BCE and the 2nd century CE. This period coincides with major migrations across the Eurasian steppes and increased interaction between civilizations along the ancient Silk Road trade route.

The team integrates Chinese specialists in natural sciences and modern material analysis methods, allowing for in-depth research. Jamal Mirzaakhmedov, head of the Uzbek side, noted that this joint study makes a significant contribution to understanding the history of Uzbek nomadic and agricultural tribes and peoples.

Simultaneously, similar cooperation is observed in Kyrgyzstan in another area of archaeology. At the Ak-Beshim archaeological site in the Chuya region, known to the Chinese as the ancient city of Suyab, cultural heritage preservation expert Bai Yuxu from Dunhuang Academy in Northwest China is studying the ruins with colleagues to identify signs of structural damage.

Bai reported that this archaeological site suffers from foundation erosion of walls, peeling, structural cracks, and the formation of erosional gullies, warning that without timely and effective intervention, the damage could become irreversible.

To assist, Chinese specialists built an experimental wall on an open site nearby, simulating similar environmental conditions and soil properties. They reproduced ancient construction methods and monitored changes inside and outside the wall to document the progression of structural wear. Specialists are also conducting wall strengthening tests to evaluate various conservation methods, expecting that proven techniques will be more widely applied at the Ak-Beshim site to maximally preserve its original appearance.

Aisin Duishanaliyeva, an employee of the Ministry of Culture of Kyrgyzstan responsible for protecting historical and cultural monuments, emphasized the application of modern scientific methods by Chinese specialists and expressed hope for the continuation of joint conservation work. Staff from Dunhuang Academy have experience carrying out conservation work on the ruins of the ancient city of Beiting in the Xinjiang Autonomous Region of Northwest China, which, like Ak-Beshim, is on the northern side of the Tian Shan and is heavily affected by the regional microclimate.

The conservation methods and techniques they use at Ak-Beshim can also be applied in other countries of Central Asia. Archaeological cooperation between China and Central Asian countries is not only academically significant; shared findings also help reinterpret the history of development and prosperity along the Silk Road, demonstrating traces of exchanges, mutual learning among civilizations, as well as their enrichment and progress.

Uzbekistan is taking steps to launch a data center currently under construction at IT Park Uzbekistan. The project's progress and commissioning timeline were discussed by Minister of Digital Technologies Sherzod Shermatov and DataVolt CEO Rajit Nanda.

During the meeting, the parties reviewed the final stages of construction work, organizational issues, and preparatory measures for the opening ceremony. Special attention was paid to coordinating further actions to ensure the timely start of the data center's operation.

It is expected that this facility will meet the domestic demand for computing power and help increase the export of digital services and computing resources to international markets. Participants also discussed the potential for cooperation between the data center and foreign technology companies, as well as the implementation of advanced cloud services and high-performance computing infrastructure.

Both sides emphasized the need for prompt resolution of emerging issues and coordination of the next phases of the project. However, an exact opening date was not announced.
