[Supporting AI Adoption in Construction via Subsidies] ArchiX AI x Akane Social Insurance Labor Consultant Dialogue Explained

Actual Inc. (Headquarters: Nakagyo-ku, Kyoto; CEO: Yuki Tsuji), operator of the architectural and interior perspective generation AI 'ArchiX,' has launched a series of practical articles in collaboration with Akane Social Insurance Labor Consultant Corporation (Location: Kita-ku, Osaka; Representative: Akiko Yamanaka). The series focuses on solving the construction industry's '2024 Problem'—overtime labor regulations—using a combination of AI and government subsidies.

Background: Bringing AI Adoption Costs Closer to 'Zero Net Cost' With the enforcement of overtime limits in April 2024, the construction industry faces a severe dilemma: a labor shortage combined with the inability to increase overtime. While AI tools are effective for improving efficiency, many small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) hesitate due to adoption costs.

In fact, the introduction of AI tools can qualify for subsidies from the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare. By utilizing non-repayable subsidies, companies can significantly reduce their financial burden. However, there are many pitfalls, such as the required sequence of application and the need for proper labor management records. This series aims to bridge the gap between SMEs and public support to ensure financial differences do not lead to a 'DX divide' in the industry.
