GENIAC

ABOUT GENIAC

Generative AI is expected to have a significant impact on industrial activities and people's lives because it has the potential to replace humans in a variety of creative tasks that conventional AI cannot replicate.

The key to generative AI is the development of a platform model.
A platform model is the core technological foundation that supports various services that utilize generative AI, and its development capability may determine the availability of generative AI in Japan as well as the scope of innovation to be created.

The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) has launched the Generative AI Accelerator Challenge (GENIAC) to raise the level of platform model development capability in Japan and to encourage companies and others to be creative.
GENIAC will provide computational resources, support matching with companies and data holders, support collaboration with global tech companies, hold community events, and evaluate the performance of the developed platform models.

As generative AI is about to bring about changes to the world, GENIAC aims to improve Japan's development capabilities by bringing together the knowledge of stakeholders in Japan and other countries.
