■Summary
This time it will be held in Tokyo! ! !

The 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 that big of a deal?'' 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!''
