Four volunteer students enrolled in the required first-year undergraduate course “Introduction to Information and Data Science” participated in the first Virtual International Education (VIE) session of the 2026 academic year. The participants were primarily medical students, and the session was held at the Kasumi Campus. Divided into four mixed Japan-U.S. small groups, they discussed three questions related to AI and smart cities using Zoom translation and HiGPT, an AI-based educational support tool, and presented their findings.
