We are pleased to announce that GRIPS’ collaborative initiatives between government, industry, and academia—carried out in partnership with Microsoft Japan—have been featured in the video titled “CyberSmart AI Program: Training Japan's policymakers in AI and cybersecurity”, produced by Microsoft. 
(Reference: Academic Collaboration with Microsoft Japan Co., Ltd.) 

This video is the part of Microsoft’s global CyberSmart AI Program, which highlights the importance of acquiring skills in AI utilization and cybersecurity enhancement. Under the theme “Microsoft AI Skills Impact Stories,” it features global stories of social impact and AI skilling. GRIPS’ efforts last year to enhance AI skills—such as through Copilot technical training—were selected as the featured case from Japan. The video features the impact story of Mr. Yoshiaki Tanaka of the National Personnel Authority, a GRIPS alumnus—who participated in the Copilot training—(Open Concentration, Public Policy Program, ‘25), and also introduces the significance of our joint efforts with Microsoft. 

We invite you to watch the video and learn more about this exciting initiative.
