Scene Live Inc. (Headquarters: Osaka; CEO: Ryosuke Isomura), a developer and provider of call systems, has launched 'KANSAI AI BOOTCAMP' in collaboration with Actbe Inc. (Headquarters: Osaka; CEO: Ryosuke Fujiwara) and Beyond Inc. (Headquarters: Osaka; CEO: Masahiro Haraoka). This organization focuses on 'Humanities Students x AI' to develop AI talent in the Kansai region.
Background of the Launch
In recent years, AI utilization has been rapidly advancing in Japan. AI implementation in companies is expanding annually across various fields, including operational efficiency and decision support.
In this context, the importance of talent who can 'master' AI, not just those who 'implement' it, is increasing. To use AI effectively, it is essential to have the 'ability to set appropriate challenges' and the 'ability to accurately verbalize intentions,' rather than just understanding the tools. Since AI generates outputs based on information entered by humans, the quality depends heavily on the input.
In the AI era, thinking skills, verbalization abilities, and structural thinking developed in humanities fields are becoming more important than ever.
However, there are few places in Kansai where people can learn AI practically, especially programs directly linked to business for humanities students. This gap led to the launch of KANSAI AI BOOTCAMP.
What is KANSAI AI BOOTCAMP?
KANSAI AI BOOTCAMP is an organization launched by Scene Live, Actbe, and Beyond. Its goal is to provide humanities students with opportunities to learn engineering skills and AI utilization, expanding their career possibilities. It contributes to the development of AI professionals with strong 'communication skills' and the growth of the Kansai IT industry.
The group plans to expand participating companies and aims for student learning to lead to new businesses and encounters.
Goals of the Three Companies
'Precisely because you are a humanities student, you can master AI.'
This organization was born from regional revitalization efforts by Kansai IT companies. The starting point was a strong desire to boost the entire Kansai IT industry beyond individual recruitment activities.
The three companies share the belief that human communication is indispensable for value creation in the AI era. The ability to correctly understand others' intentions and appropriately convey one's own ideas remains crucial. KANSAI AI BOOTCAMP will enhance students' strengths in thinking and verbalization through interaction with AI, aiming to develop talent that creates value.
Reason for Scene Live's Participation
Scene Live has optimized business communication through its SaaS business, with over 3,400 implementations as of February 2026. The company believes that 'human power'—how challenges are captured and verbalized—is as important as technology. They aim to apply this SaaS knowledge to future talent development and promote an environment where value is fairly evaluated, aligned with their purpose 'Fairness in Business.'
Future Developments
Starting with a career event in June 2026, the group will expand participating companies, form an alumni community, and involve Kansai universities and enterprises.
First Phase: Offline Event 'Humanities AI Night: AI Career Strategy for Humanities Majors.' A career event for humanities students featuring a demonstration of developing a web application in 30 minutes using AI.
Second Phase: 'AI BOOTCAMP,' a long-term practical training program.
