■MIXI’s Exhibit at TOKYO CREATIVE COLLECTION 2025

Symposium / Panel Discussion
CDO Yokoyama on “The Power of Co-Creation Born from Minwai: MIXI DESIGN’s AI in Practice”
Yoshiyuki Yokoyama, a corporate officer, CDO, and chief general manager of the Design Department at MIXI, will take the stage to give a talk titled “The Power of Co-Creation Born from Minwai: MIXI DESIGN’s AI in Practice.” The talk will take place on December 16, the first day of the event, from 2:15 PM to 2:35 PM.
A wide range of MIXI DESIGN members actively use AI, including designers, directors, and front-end engineers. One representation of this is an AI presentation session held twice a year. Over the three sessions conducted thus far, it has evolved into a festival-like learning space where members bring ideas together in a lively atmosphere and share what they have created. In this session, we will introduce the broadening range of ideas that has emerged through these efforts, along with the growth of organizational competitiveness.
A panel discussion featuring in-house designers and directors is also planned for the same day. They will talk about the key points of the creative work and the production process, using actual YouTube thumbnails as examples.
