Admin’s Note

I believe that the news regarding the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry’s support for the development of AI training data is a crucial step in strengthening Japan’s manufacturing industry. I was particularly impressed by the point that improving the performance of domestically developed AI directly contributes to companies’ competitiveness. As mentioned in the conversation between Chako and Log, the idea that data organization leads to increased productivity is an extremely important factor for many companies to consider as they explore the use of AI in the future.
