Overview

In response to increasing demands of companies for human resources with the ability to make use of  AI and data to solve their challenges, METI will implement a FY2020 AI Quest Program from October 2020 to February 2021 for the purpose of fostering such human resources.

The “AI Quest” is a program which provides participants with practical learning opportunities for acquiring approaches to solving companies’ challenges through making use of AI. In this process, participants will learn from each other and mutually enhance themselves.

Characteristics of the program are as follows:

  • The program focuses on Project-based Learning (PBL), a teaching method in which participants exchange information and work together to solve assigned challenges, rather than providing instructor-based classroom lectures.
  • It provides all training programs online.
  • It recommends that participants learn from each other and teach each other for efficient learning.

Toward the implementation of the program, METI started a call for participants from 18:00, August 17 (Mon.), 2020. If you wish to participate in the program, confirm the overview, application guidelines and other details of the program described on the official website and then complete the filing of an application by 23:59, August 30 (Sun.), 2020.
