アジア太平洋地域におけるAI人材育成の現状と課題を明らかに — 誰もがAIの恩恵を受けられる社会の実現に向けて 

一般社団法人Robo Co-opは、アジア太平洋地域の社会的投資家ネットワークであるAVPNが2025年5月5日に公表した国際調査レポート「AI for All: Building an AI-Ready Workforce in Asia-Pacific（すべての人にAIを：アジア太平洋地域におけるAI対応人材の育成）」において、調査協力組織（Contributing Organisations）として掲載されています。 

本レポートは、アジア太平洋地域におけるAI人材育成の現状や課題を明らかにし、誰もがAIの進展による恩恵を受けられる社会の実現に向けた方向性を示すものです。 

Robo Co-opを含む複数の組織が調査協力組織として記載されており、AI教育への公平なアクセスや、デジタルスキルを通じた経済的・社会的包摂の重要性が示されています。 

◆AI人材育成の現状 — 研修経験者はわずか15%  

AI技術が急速に普及する一方で、AIを学ぶ機会は、すべての人に平等に行き届いているわけではありません。 

本レポートでは、アジア太平洋地域の8つの国・地域における2,840人を対象とした調査などを通じて、AI人材育成の現状を分析しています。 

調査からは、以下のような課題が明らかになりました。 

  • ▫57%：AI研修プログラムの存在を認識していない回答者 
  • ▫15%：これまでにAI研修を受けたことがある回答者 
  • ▫約40%：高度なAI専門知識の習得よりも、実際の業務や生活に即した実践的なAI研修を希望する回答者 

これらの結果は、AI人材育成において、単に学習機会を提供するだけでなく、研修の認知度向上、アクセスのしやすさ、実務で活用できる学習内容の充実が重要であることを示しています。 

また、年齢やデジタルリテラシー、言語などの違いによって、AI学習へのアクセスや活用状況に格差が生じていることも課題として挙げられています。 

◆誰も取り残さない「AI Just Transition」の実現へ 

本レポートでは、AIの進展による恩恵を一部の人々だけでなく、社会全体で共有するための「AI Just Transition（公正なAI移行）」の重要性が強調されています。 

その実現には、地域や学習者の状況に応じた教育プログラムの提供に加え、継続的な学習支援や、企業・教育機関・行政・非営利組織などの連携が不可欠です。 

特に、AIの活用経験が少ない人々や、学習機会へのアクセスが限られている人々に対して、実践的なスキルを習得できる環境を整えることが求められています。 

◆Robo Co-opの取り組み — AI教育を通じた社会的・経済的包摂 

      • Robo Co-opは、デジタル技術やAIを活用し、多様な背景を持つ人々が学び、働き、自らの可能性を広げられる社会の実現を目指しています。 

        オンラインでの学習機会の提供や、実践的なデジタルスキルの習得支援を通じて、教育から就労へとつながる仕組みづくりに取り組んでいます。 

        また、Robo Co-opはAVPNが展開する「AI Opportunity Fund: Asia-Pacific」において、日本のStrategic Partnerとして参画し、AI学習機会の拡大にも取り組んでいます。 

        今回のレポートで示された、AI教育へのアクセス格差の解消や、実務につながるスキル習得の重要性は、Robo Co-opが目指す方向性とも深く重なるものです。 

        Robo Co-opは今後も、多様な組織との連携を通じて、誰もがAIを学び、活用し、新たな可能性に挑戦できる環境づくりを推進してまいります。

    Advancing inclusive AI education and workforce development across Asia-Pacific 

    Robo Co-op is pleased to be recognized as a Contributing Organization in AI for All: Building an AI-Ready Workforce in Asia-Pacific, an international research report published on 5 May 2025 by AVPN, Asia's leading network of social investors. 

    The report explores the state of AI workforce development across the Asia-Pacific region, identifying barriers to AI education and opportunities to build a more inclusive, AI-ready workforce. 

    Recognized alongside other contributing organizations, Robo Co-op shares the report's vision of a future where everyone, regardless of their background or circumstances, has the opportunity to develop AI skills and benefit from technological progress. 

    ◆The AI Skills Gap: Why Access to Training Matters  

        • Artificial intelligence is transforming industries and reshaping the way people live and work. Yet access to the skills needed to participate in this transformation remains uneven. 

          Drawing on a survey of 2,840 respondents across eight countries and territories in Asia-Pacific, the report highlights significant gaps in AI awareness, education, and workforce readiness. 

          Three findings stand out: 

          • ▫57% of respondents were unaware of available AI training programmes. 
          • ▫Only 15% had previously received AI training. 
          • ▫Approximately 40% preferred practical AI training relevant to their work and daily lives over advanced technical instruction. 

          These findings point to a critical challenge: expanding AI education is not simply about offering more courses. It is about ensuring that people know these opportunities exist, can access them, and can apply what they learn in meaningful ways. 

          The report also highlights disparities in AI education and technology adoption linked to factors such as age, digital literacy, and language. 

          Addressing these barriers will be essential to building a workforce in which everyone has a fair opportunity to participate in an increasingly AI-driven economy. 

      ◆Building an Inclusive Future Through an “AI Just Transition”   

          • A central theme of the report is the importance of an AI Just Transition — an approach that seeks to ensure the benefits of AI are shared across society, rather than concentrated among those who already have access to technology, education, and economic opportunities. 

            Making this vision a reality requires more than technological advancement. 

            It calls for accessible learning programmes, practical skills development, continued support for learners, and collaboration between businesses, educational institutions, governments, and nonprofit organizations. 

            Equally important is recognizing that people begin their AI learning journeys from different starting points. 

            For individuals with limited digital experience or restricted access to educational resources, training must be approachable, relevant, and connected to real-world needs. 

            By putting people at the center of AI education, organizations can help ensure that technological progress creates opportunities rather than widening existing inequalities. 

        ◆Robo Co-op’s Commitment to AI Education and Inclusion   

            • At Robo Co-op, we believe that access to AI education and digital opportunities should not be limited by a person's background, experience, or circumstances. 

              Our mission is to create pathways for people from diverse backgrounds to develop new skills, participate in the digital economy, and access meaningful employment opportunities. 

              Through online learning, hands-on digital skills development, and initiatives that connect education with employment, we work to make emerging technologies more accessible and relevant to everyday life. 

              Robo Co-op also serves as a Strategic Partner in Japan for AVPN’s AI Opportunity Fund: Asia-Pacific, an initiative supported by Google.org that aims to expand access to AI learning opportunities throughout the region. 

              This work closely aligns with the findings of AI for All, particularly its emphasis on removing barriers to AI education, strengthening practical workforce skills, and ensuring that underserved communities are not left behind. 

              Our recognition as a contributing organization reflects our engagement with the broader effort to build a more inclusive AI future. 

          ◆Moving Forward: AI Opportunities for Everyone  

              • AI has the potential to create new opportunities for learning, employment, and economic participation. Realizing that potential, however, depends on making AI education accessible to everyone. 

                At Robo Co-op, we will continue working with partners across sectors to help bridge the gap between technological innovation and real-world opportunity. 

                By expanding access to practical AI skills and supporting inclusive workforce development, we aim to contribute to a future where more people can confidently learn, use, and benefit from AI. 

                Because the future of AI should be shaped by everyone — and its opportunities should be open to all.
