AI Learning Goes Playful: IBM Japan Launches GenAI Card Game

IBM Japan launches gamified Generative AI training

Under the direction of SEGA XD Co., Ltd., IBM Japan, Ltd. created “Generative AI Card Game Training – Battle Workers,” a card game for learning about generative AI, and started providing it as a training service.

To promote an organizational culture that makes use of generative AI, this service teaches participants how to develop prompts in a game-like environment and how generative AI functions.

As a way to increase business efficiency, generative AI is gaining a lot of interest and is becoming more widely used. Only a small percentage of people, meanwhile, actively employ generative AI in their jobs and are aware of its risks.

Many businesses are looking for AI investment options that will result in broad business benefits, according to the CEO Study 2025, “Five Mindset Changes to Accelerate Business Growth,” a recent poll by the IBM Institute for Business Value (IBV).

In fact, 61% of businesses are actively using AI agents and are getting ready to adopt them across the entire organization.

To successfully integrate AI throughout the entire organization, businesses must make sure that more staff members gain precise AI knowledge and useful abilities and instill collaboration with AI as a company-wide culture.

Psychological obstacles like “not knowing where to start” and “the technology seems too specialized and difficult” frequently keep people from starting the learning process, even if they see the necessity of AI.

In order to overcome these obstacles, IBM Japan, working under the direction of SEGA XD, a company with experience in gamification, has created an experience that makes use of the immersive potential of games, creating a new training service that enables participants to gain specialized knowledge about generative AI while having fun in a card game format.
