HERO Innovation Empowers Employees with AI Literacy through Certification

In a bid to cultivate talent capable of utilizing generative AI, HERO Innovation, headquartered in Fukuoka, Japan, has announced that 44 of its employees, predominantly in management roles, successfully passed the "Generative AI Passport Examination" conducted by the Generative AI Utilization Promotion Association (GUGA). This remarkable achievement translates to approximately 20% of HERO's workforce and marks a significant step towards enhancing the overall AI literacy of the organization.

The Generative AI Passport is a certification that verifies the knowledge and literacy necessary for the safe and appropriate use of generative AI.
