Seminar on 'Strategic Winning Path for R&D Transformed by Generative AI' by Hajime Hiraki, CEO of Chemistry Cube Inc., to be held on May 28, 2026

The SSK Seminar, titled 'Strategic Winning Path for R&D Transformed by Generative AI,' will be held on May 28, 2026, from 10:00 to 12:00. The speaker is Mr. Hajime Hiraki, Representative Director and Innovation Consultant at Chemistry Cube. The seminar addresses the current state of generative AI in R&D, where its application often leads only to efficiency improvements rather than fundamental value creation. The lecture will structurally organize the distinguishing factors between successful and unsuccessful R&D, and introduce key points for generative AI implementation to enhance R&D's value creation capability, along with practical approaches to convert technology into value. Key topics include R&D self-transformation, the divergence points of R&D outcomes, what is needed to overcome these divergences (bottlenecks and practical approaches like technology inventory and value translation), and the evolution of R&D through human-AI collaboration (roles of humans and AI, required R&D talent, and organizational implementation/operation points). The venue is SSK Seminar Room, Zaimax Nishi-Shinbashi Bldg. 4F, 2-6-2 Nishi-Shinbashi, Minato-ku, Tokyo. Live streaming via Zoom webinar and a two-week archive distribution are also available. The New Social System Research Institute (SSK), established on December 6, 1996, has been planning and holding approximately 500 business seminars annually for over 28 years, providing information services to corporations.
