SHIFT AI held a ChatGPT utilization lecture for agricultural workers in Gamagori City, Aichi Prefecture, on July 2, 2026. The session targeted producers of mandarin oranges and strawberries, along with local officials, aiming to reduce anxiety about generative AI and demonstrate practical uses. The lecture covered basics, safety rules, and live examples, and one participant used ChatGPT to write closing remarks on the spot.
The lecture was part of a joint project with the Gamagori City Office Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Division and the Gamagori City Agricultural Management Liaison Council. SHIFT AI, which operates a generative AI learning community with over 40,000 members, designed the session to eliminate anxiety and create immediate opportunities for use. The program minimized technical jargon, explained the difference between conventional and generative AI, and demonstrated safe usage rules. Practical examples included creating PR text and product descriptions for mandarin oranges and strawberries. One participant, registering for ChatGPT for the first time that day, used the tool to compose the seminar's closing remarks and delivered them. The main lecturer was Takumi Okawa, a SHIFT AI lecturer who has supported 4,541 people in using generative AI as of June 2026.
