■ Background of AI Workshop in Shinkansen 

　ChatGPT generative system including AI triggered by the rise of AI More and more business people are paying attention to AI I believe that there are few businessmen who are able to incorporate into their own business. 

Therefore, at Macnica, A.I. With the spirit of ``imitating rather than learning,'' we collaborate with plastic model manufacturer Tamiya to create Tamiya original designs.AI Robot For businessmen who use the A.I. We planned a workshop. 

Regular AI workshops have a 3-hour program that is held on the ground, but this time, as the first initiative in Japan, a 40-minute program will be held on the "Shinkansen" for busy Japanese businessmen. It was become a thing. 

Shinkansen trains have seats, desks, and are private spaces, so they are suitable for learning. In addition, we believe that learning in an extraordinary space of "moving at high speed" will lead to the creation of new ideas and new discoveries in your own business. 

The ground-based AI workshop for businessmen is scheduled to be open to the general public in the fall of 2023. We will continue to consider holding an AI workshop in the Shinkansen in the future.

■ Introduction 

The program began with a presentation by Keita Yoneuchi of the Marketing & Solutions Division Macnica on why they decided to hold an AI workshop on the Shinkansen.

"We hear a lot about AI in the news and in the media these days, but I think there are not many people who actually understand it. Of course, you don't need to understand the whole picture of AI, but at Macnica we think it's necessary for people to 'understand' the image of AI and how to use it. That's why we decided to hold this workshop.

The reason why I decided to conduct this on the Shinkansen is because due to the coronavirus outbreak, ``work styles'' that can be done anywhere or at any time are attracting attention. JR Tokai has also implemented "S Work vehicles". Therefore, Macnica thought that it would be possible to not only work but also ``learn'' during the ``travel time'' on the Shinkansen, and planned this project. ”

■ AI experience (dog/cat identification) & classroom learning
Next, Keigo Uyama Macnica Marketing & Solution Headquarters, and Sales from Tamiya Co., Ltd.Mr. Takayuki Ishizaki took the stage. Paper and pens were distributed to participants, and they were asked to draw a picture of either a dog or a cat on the spot.I did. that picture Can distinguish between “dog” and “cat” By showing it to Tamiya's original design robot loaded with an AI program,We asked the AI to determine whether the picture was of a dog or a cat.The venue was filled with excitement as the AI robots waved flags for "dog" and "cat" while being able to quickly distinguish between the two, sometimes having trouble figuring it out, and sometimes even making mistakes.

■Assigned learning
Keigo Uyama from Macnica Marketing & Solutions Division took the stage.Participants were asked if there were any new businesses or business reforms that could be done using AI.Participants said, ``I'm developing an electric scooter, and I think it might be possible to prevent accidents by using image recognition to determine the surrounding situation.'' in a year I have written over 100 event announcements and I can create them automatically.A variety of ideas were proposed, including the idea that creating AI could lead to improved business operations.

■Comment from the organizer
Macnica Marketing & Solutions Headquarters Keita Yoneuchi
First of all, what is best for your business? A.I. It is important to be able to choose and use the A.I. techniqueI don't think it's about becoming a practitioner. For many technologies, the early days were when resources were created for users.Due to insufficient materials and products, users themselves are required to know the principles and use them effectively.As technology becomes more widespread and matures, we will see a shift from "theoretical learning" to "application learning."
Nowadays, I am familiar with business. PC is one example, in the early days, each user created and used programs on their own.However, now there are many appsIn addition, non-code programming allows for more personal usage.The fact is that it has been sublimated into.
This workshop aims to A.I. I would be happy if this is a step toward putting it to use.
