The Generative AI Koshien Executive Committee is pleased to announce that the 1st Generative AI Koshien, Japan's first (according to our research) Generative AI Quiz Championship for high school and technical college students from all over Japan, will be held on Sunday, December 22, 2024, at IPU University of the Pacific Rim, First Campus (Okayama City, Okayama Prefecture).

The competition is designed to provide an opportunity for the next generation of young people to deepen their understanding of generative AI technology and to compete with each other in its potential. Under the concept of "Fear Generative AI Rightly and Live with Generative AI," participants will compete in a quiz championship to test their knowledge of generative AI, and then showcase their innovative generative AI performances.

＜Preliminary competition for the Generative AI Koshien

Preliminary competitions were held from May to August 2024 in cooperation with Okayama Prefectural High School and a private university to serve as a trial for the Generative AI Koshien.

The pre-conference was a great success, with a total of approximately 500 students participating, and we realized the great impact that the Generative AI Koshien would have on the Japanese educational community. The feedback we received at the pre-conference strongly confirmed the significance of this project.
