Actobi Inc. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Osaka; CEO: Ryosuke Fujiwara; TOKYO PRO Market: 439A), a professional DX support firm, along with Kansai-based IT companies Beyond Inc. (Headquarters: Osaka; CEO: Masahiro Haraoka) and Scene Live Inc. (Headquarters: Osaka; CEO: Ryosuke Isomura), will co-host the career event 'Liberal Arts AI Night: AI Career Strategy for Liberal Arts' on Wednesday, June 24, 2026, at Chayamachi Plaza, 1st Floor of Mainichi Broadcasting System (MBS).
This event is the first initiative by 'KANSAI AI BOOTCAMP,' a group dedicated to nurturing AI talent in the Kansai region. It aims to overturn the misconception that AI is only for science and engineering majors, delivering a new value proposition: the ability to 'question, structure, and communicate'—skills cultivated by liberal arts students—are actually the ultimate weapons in the AI era.
### Event Features
- **Panel Discussion by Three CEOs**: Addressing real concerns such as 'What is the future of the IT industry?' and 'Is there a demand for liberal arts engineers?' CEOs involved in hiring and training will provide honest answers to student questions.
- **AI Demonstration**: A 30-minute session demonstrating AI development through prompt engineering. The goal is not to suggest that development is 'easy for anyone' but to help students realize that while understanding logic and design thinking is essential, the hurdle is not insurmountable.
- **Tickets to 'AI BOOTCAMP'**: Introduction to a long-term program for learning engineering basics, AI utilization, and web application development.
### Purpose
The event was conceived to reach students who might be giving up on the IT industry because they are 'from a liberal arts background.' With the evolution of AI, an era is arriving where anyone can create value by combining the ability to verbalize problems and think structurally with technical tools. The goal is to provide a starting point for students to transition from being 'users' of technology to 'creators' of value.
