Discovering 'High-Potential Talent' with Brain Science x AI: AI Utilization Aptitude Assessment Service Launch

Village AI Co., Ltd. and Infinite Mind Co., Ltd. have announced the launch of an AI utilization aptitude assessment service, under the academic supervision of Assistant Professor Hiromu Monai of Ochanomizu University. According to DX trend surveys, 85.1% of Japanese companies report a shortage of talent for promoting DX. As AI adoption spreads, there is a lack of perspective on identifying and nurturing individuals with the potential to excel with AI. This service measures adaptability to AI environments based on brain science and cognitive science, using a three-layer structure: cognitive foundation (fluid intelligence, processing speed), behavioral adaptation (metacognition, learning responsiveness), and practical application (problem-finding, cognitive flexibility). A key feature is that it can fairly evaluate everyone from students to managers, regardless of academic background, job title, or current AI knowledge. The service will be available from mid-July 2026 as a corporate online assessment. Prices start at 50,000 yen (excluding tax) per assessment. Village AI oversees product development and sales, Infinite Mind provides cognitive measurement IP and training expertise, and Assistant Professor Monai ensures academic validity.
