"When we started the pilot program in 2018, there

"When we started the pilot program in 2018, there was already growing interest among students across the sciences and humanities. In the fast-paced world of AI tech, it can be difficult for universities to keep their curriculum up to date with the latest developments or hire dedicated experts in the field. That's why we concluded that the AIC would be a more advanced place to learn if highly skilled students with up-to-date knowledge designed the curriculum and taught classes. Academic faculty and staff act in a supporting role, helping the courses continually evolve and adapt to meet the needs of students who want to study here.”
— Associate Professor Takahiro Yakoh

In recent years, applications for artificial intelligence have been growing at an accelerated pace, affecting every field from finance and logistics to manufacturing, healthcare, and even education. Meanwhile, the professionals needed to utilize this technology are in short supply in Japan and around the world, and competition to acquire them is fierce.

In response to this talent shortage, Keio University launched the AI and Advanced Programming Consortium (AIC) in 2019, a groundbreaking learning community unique among Japanese universities. Here, students come together from all years and faculties, from the sciences to the humanities, to acquire knowledge and expertise in AI.

"Employers recognized and valued the year and a half of experience I gained in sales and engineering as a student intern. It helped me get the job I wanted in the digital division of a major financial institution. Technology will become an increasingly necessary tool in every industry in the future. I think the AIC can help students learn the minimum knowledge necessary to collaborate with experts and handle related software, even if you are not an AI specialist yourself."
— Yuki Ohashi, Fourth-year Student at the Keio University Faculty of Law

Yuki Ohashi, a fourth-year student at the Keio University Faculty of Law, has served as a teaching assistant during the AI Business Fundamentals course of the AI and Advanced Programming Consortium (AIC). Launched in 2019, AIC is a groundbreaking learning community unique among Japanese universities. Here, students come together from all years and faculties, from the sciences to the humanities, to acquire knowledge and expertise in AI.

Ohashi says that a trip to the West Coast of the United States during his first year at Keio sparked his interest in the convergence of industry and technology. He began taking courses after the launch of the AIC. His knowledge of AI and basic programming skills have landed him several offers, including at a robotic process automation (RPA) company, the digital division of a financial institution, and the research arm of a Silicon Valley-based venture capital firm.

"I never really had a chance to learn about AI in

"I never really had a chance to learn about AI in class, so I bought some books on Python and started studying programming on my own during my second year at university. At the time, there were very few women working in AI and programming, so finding a group of like-minded female friends was a major hurdle. That was the only impetus a small group of me and my friends needed to start the Women's AI Study Group, which focuses as much on learning about Python and AI as creating a community of women interested in AI. I think it's definitely useful making friends who share similar goals, regardless of faculty, to exchange information and improve your performance."

A tech enthusiast since childhood, she also served as an instructor during the fall semester.

"We often tend to think that AI and programming are things best left to developers, so the AIC was a great place for me to discover how we can promote AI and programming and apply them to a wide range of professions such as education. Looking back, I am very grateful to the AIC. I've been able to take my experiences here and incorporate them into my job search and my vision for the future," says Sasa.
