[Supporting AI Adoption in the Construction Industry with Subsidies] Architectural Perspective Generation AI ArchiX x Akane Social Insurance and Labor Consultant Office Explain in Dialogue

Actual Inc. (Headquarters: Nakagyo-ku, Kyoto; Representative Director: Yuki Tsuji), which operates the architectural and interior perspective generation AI "ArchiX," has partnered with Akane Social Insurance and Labor Consultant Office (Location: Kita-ku, Osaka; Representative Partner: Akiko Yamanaka), which specializes in subsidy applications, to begin distributing a practical series of articles aimed at solving the construction industry's "2024 problem" with AI and subsidies.

■ Background of the Series: Bringing AI Adoption Closer to "Virtually Zero Burden"

Due to the overtime work regulations enforced from April 2024, the construction industry faces a serious dilemma: "a labor shortage, yet unable to increase overtime." While AI tools for operational efficiency are an effective solution, many small and medium-sized enterprises hesitate, stating, "we cannot secure the introduction costs."

In fact, the introduction of AI tools can be eligible for subsidy programs from the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare. If conditions are met, it is possible to promote DX with significantly reduced cost burden by utilizing non-repayable subsidies. However, there are many pitfalls in subsidy applications, such as the order of application and the establishment of labor management, which, if unknown, can lead to "failure to receive."

Therefore, our company has collaborated with Akane Social Insurance and Labor Consultant Office, a professional in subsidy applications, to plan this series, which explains both "AI adoption" and "subsidy utilization." We aim to bridge the gap with public support systems that even small and medium-sized construction companies can utilize, striving to uplift the entire industry so that differences in financial strength do not lead to disparities in DX.

■ Series Plan: Akane Social Insurance and Labor Consultant Office x ArchiX Dialogue

We will deliver a 4-part roadmap for AI adoption and subsidy utilization for construction industry managers and DX personnel. *Content may change without notice due to revisions in subsidy programs.
