As we enter an age where artificial intelligence continues to advance rapidly, traditional career paths once deemed reliable are undergoing significant transformations. In response to these shifts, the Itabashi City Business Vitalization Center is proud to announce two free events specifically designed for students: one focusing on AI applications and the other on entrepreneurial skills from the heart of Silicon Valley.

Attendees will have the opportunity to engage with a bestselling author and expert in AI utilization across educational and business sectors.

Learning Objectives:

Participants will learn how to leverage AI as a critical partner in refining their thinking and judgment, rather than merely using it as a convenient tool.

The Unique Approach of These Events

This unique initiative aims to equip the next generation of students with the ability to continuously pose questions and adapt to the evolving landscape shaped by AI.

The Itabashi City Business Vitalization Center offers various programs aimed at supporting entrepreneurship and human resource development without profit motives, focusing instead on empowering young individuals to navigate change actively.
