■Summary

This time's theme "AI (artificial intelligence)" .

``AI (Artificial Intelligence)'' is something we hear a lot about these days, but

I think there are still many people who are still not sure about it, wondering, ``Is AI really a thing?'' and ``What kind of AI is it?' '

In this study session,
we will invite speakers who are actually using AI in their companies and services, and
they will talk a lot about their case studies and initiatives!

The contents can be enjoyed by a wide range of people, from beginners who are wondering,
``Can AI do anything?'' ``I'm using AI at work!''

Speakers include
Yukito Morikawa (Morikatron)
developer of the AI ​​training simulation game ``Ganbare Morikawa-kun 2'', , developer of the computer shogi program ``Yaneura -oh'') (Otafuku Lab Co., Ltd.) )
We have invited these two people and will send you a luxurious two-part feature.

*Our company Beyond is a server company, but we are not talking about servers.
