The event was attended by 46 educational institutions and police-related organizations from around the country that are engaged in similar initiatives to our university. Three educational institutions reported on their activities, and the Miyagi Prefectural Police Headquarters presented a joint research project with the Japan Cybercrime Control Center (JC3) on AI-based cyber patrols, as well as an introduction to the activities of JC3.
Participant Bizen Kentaro (Fukuoka Seiryo High School), a third-year student, said, "I learned about the various initiatives being undertaken by each university and felt a sense of connection. I would like to continue working together to eradicate cybercrime." Another third-year student, Hiraishi Kazuki (Kasuga High School), said, "We have been conducting cyber patrol activities up until now, but after hearing this report, I learned how to expand our activities to local residents and elementary, junior high, and high school students, which has broadened our options for future activities."
