The event is designed primarily for people who are interested in AI and Web3.0 but are unsure how the two fields are connected, as well as those who are interested in investing and finance but have not yet engaged with crypto assets. As AI continues to evolve, new use cases are emerging across areas related to crypto assets and blockchain, including financial services, information management, content generation, and personal data utilization.

OKJ Academy is a community-based event designed as a place to learn about these changes. One of its key features is that even participants without specialized knowledge can build a basic understanding while connecting with others who share similar interests, as well as industry professionals.

The lecture will feature Hayacchi, who is leading the adoption of generative AI in business settings. Titled “A Beginner-Friendly Look at the Latest AI Trends,” the session will explain the current state of generative AI, practical business use cases, and future prospects in an accessible format for beginners.

The panel discussion will feature Akira Komiya, who works on AI and blockchain system development, together with Hayacchi. Under the theme “A Vision for the Future of AI × Web3,” the discussion will explore how the combination of AI and Web3.0 could transform everyday life and business, with concrete examples.

In recent years, generative AI has expanded beyond text creation, image generation, and workflow efficiency. Its applications now extend to decision-making support, software development, and the financial sector. At the same time, Web3.0, built on blockchain technology, has attracted attention in areas such as digital assets, decentralized services, and community building.

As these two fields converge, new possibilities are expected to emerge, including systems that allow individuals to manage their data and assets more independently, as well as autonomous economic activity driven by AI agents.

Both AI and Web3.0 are rapidly evolving fields, and understanding their technical background and specialized terminology can often be a barrier. Through OKJ Academy, OKJ aims to provide an accessible learning opportunity for beginners and help participants gain insights that can inform their future careers, investments, and business decisions.
