What is the difference between being 'used by AI' and 'mastering AI'? SHIFT AI teaches high school and university students how to use AI as a partner for deep thinking

SHIFT AI, which operates the leading generative AI learning community 'SHIFT AI' with the mission of 'making Japan an AI-advanced nation,' held a special generative AI seminar for high school and university students on Friday, May 15, 2026, with the support of Kobe City. The seminar was attended by students from various regions and schools, primarily from Seifukan High School, as well as Hyogo Prefectural Hyogo High School and Ritsumeikan University. In an era where AI provides 'answers,' what should humans refine? Currently, AI technology is evolving at an exponential speed, and education and career development are at a major turning point. We believe that the key to elevating Japan's future lies in the next generation of students correctly understanding the essence of AI early on and refining the value that only humans can possess. With this in mind, we have supported the educational stance of Seifukan High School, which values student 'proactivity' and fosters the ability to survive in society, by providing continuous educational support, including lectures by our CEO, Kiuchi. In this second seminar, we moved beyond using AI as a mere convenient tool and taught specific learning methods to master it as a 'partner' to deepen one's own thinking. We will continue to work with regions, schools, and the government to promote the creation of a foundation where students can ask their own questions and create new value.
