■ Background to the Advisory Appointment
Technological innovation, particularly centered on generative AI, is rapidly advancing, and while many companies are engaged in AI introduction and utilization, it is not uncommon for AI introduction itself to become the sole objective, failing to lead to actual business improvement or results.
Especially for Japanese companies, it is crucial to not only introduce technology but also to consider how to leverage it for management and business.
Against this backdrop, Triforce has been promoting collaboration with experts who can provide advice from both practical and research perspectives, with the aim of strengthening its support system to "utilize AI as a management resource, not just a tool."
As a result, it was concluded that Professor Kawamura's knowledge and achievements, as a leading authority in AI research who has also promoted social implementation through collaboration with numerous companies and local governments, would be a significant asset for future business development, leading to this advisory appointment.
