(*1) For more information on KANSAI AI BOOTCAMP, which was launched through a collaboration of the three companies, please see the following press release:
Three IT companies in Kansai collaborate to launch "KANSAI AI BOOTCAMP" to cultivate AI talent among liberal arts university students.
This event is the first initiative by KANSAI AI BOOTCAMP, which is working to cultivate AI talent in the Kansai region. It aims to overturn the misconception that "only those with a science background can master AI," and instead present a new perspective that the intellectual assets possessed by those with a humanities background are the weapons of the AI era, with executives from Kansai IT companies sharing their insights in their own words
■Event Features
"Liberal Arts AI Night – AI Career Strategies for Liberal Arts Students" is an offline career event for liberal arts university students, hosted by KANSAI AI BOOTCAMP, which cultivates AI talent in the Kansai region. Our CEO, Haraoka, will be speaking from his position in the IT infrastructure field
▶︎Panel discussion by three CEOs of Kansai IT companies

"What will happen to the IT industry in the future?" "Is there really a demand for liberal arts graduates who become engineers?" Business leaders who are actually involved in recruitment and training will answer these and other real-world questions that job-seeking students have. We will design a dialogue-based environment, combining questions submitted in advance by students with questions collected in real time, rather than a one-way exchange
▶︎ AI Demonstration: A 30-minute session that will make students think, "Maybe I can make this too?"
We will demonstrate the development process using AI through prompt design. However, this is not about "anyone being able to easily create it." Without an understanding of the mechanism, the ability to formulate questions, and design thinking, it is impossible to make the AI work correctly. What we want to convey here is not that "the hurdles have been eliminated," but rather that "the hurdles are not insurmountable," and that there is a real sense of possibility
Ticket to "AI BOOTCAMP," where you can learn AI technology in a practical way
AI skills are by no means easy to acquire, but with the right environment and consistent effort, anyone can realistically attain them. As a concrete example, we introduce "AI BOOTCAMP," a long-term program that teaches fundamental engineering knowledge and AI applications, and even includes web application development
■Purpose of the event
This event was planned with the desire to offer new possibilities to students who are about to give up on their interest in or career in the IT industry because they are humanities majors. With the advancement of AI, we are entering an era where anyone can create value if they combine the ability to articulate problems, think structurally, and grasp the intentions of others with technical skills. These abilities overlap deeply with what humanities students have cultivated until now
As a first step, this time we will provide you with an opportunity to see a demonstration of AI-powered (web application development). We aim to shift from being a "user" of technology to a "creator" of value, and to inspire you to realize your own potential
Furthermore, through this initiative, we aim to broaden the base of talent capable of contributing value in the age of AI, regardless of whether they are from the humanities or sciences
