Generating AI for Human Resources: A Transformative Workshop Experience

On September 23, 2025, Trustyyle, a company based in Chuo, Tokyo, successfully hosted the "Generating AI for Human Resources: Fundamental Workshop" at their community space, HR Library. The event aimed to support HR professionals in becoming proficient users of AI technology through practical workshops and lectures focused on foundational principles.
