Japan's Largest Hidden Asset: The Protagonist of the AI Revolution is Not AI Itself, but 100-Year-Old Companies. Not Factories or Real Estate, but Knowledge, Technology, and Know-how Accumulated Over 100 Years Will Become Next-Generation Competitiveness.

AI Data Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Takajin Sasaki, hereinafter referred to as AI Data), a company specializing in the utilization of corporate data and AI, is launching a call for PoC partners exclusively for 100-year-old companies for its "AI Data Platform (Tokkyo.AI × Legal Tech VDR × AI Koumei on IDX)" enterprise intelligence platform for 100-year-old companies.

The generative AI boom has led many companies to adopt AI. However, we believe the essence of the AI revolution is not in the AI models themselves. What is truly important is "what AI is trained on." And it is Japan's 100-year-old companies that possess the most answers to this question.

AI Data believes that the "AI Data Platform" for 100-year-old companies plays a significant role as the infrastructure for becoming the victor of the AI revolution by utilizing the real data of these companies, which have supported Japan's international competitiveness. Approximately half of the world's 100-year-old companies exist in Japan. We support 100-year-old companies, which are the greatest potential beneficiaries of the AI revolution, with data infrastructure.

The Biggest Misconception in the AI Revolution

Currently, many companies are proceeding with:

・ChatGPT adoption

・Generative AI adoption

・RAG adoption

However, simply adopting AI does not make a company smarter.

AI has no knowledge.

AI cannot create value without material to learn from.

In other words, AI performance ≠ corporate competitiveness.

Corporate competitiveness is determined by the quantity and quality of corporate knowledge that AI can learn from.

What is the Largest Hidden Asset of Japanese Companies?

Many people consider corporate assets to be:

・Factories

・Equipment

・Real estate

・Brands

However, in the AI era, the most valuable asset is something else.

It is the:

・Technology

・Know-how

・Design philosophy

・Customer interaction history

・Quality control data

・Failure examples

・Success examples

・Decision-making history

accumulated over 100 years.

Japan has an unparalleled number of 100-year-old companies in the world.

These companies have accumulated vast knowledge assets over many years.

However, much of this is currently dispersed in systems like:

・SharePoint

・NAS

・Mail

・Personal PCs

・Paper documents

・Meeting minutes

・Reports

and is not being fully utilized.

100-Year-Old Companies Can Be the Winners of the AI Era

Startups possess excellent AI technology.

However, they lack the real data to train it.

On the other hand, 100-year-old companies may not have the most cutting-edge AI.

However, they possess field data accumulated over decades or more than 100 years.

In fact, what is most valuable in the AI era is not the AI model, but the real data.

In this sense, 100-year-old companies can be said to be the greatest potential winners in the AI era.

What is AI Data Platform?

"AI Data Platform" is an enterprise intelligence infrastructure for integrating a company's intellectual assets through:

・Tokkyo.AI

・Legal Tech VDR

・AI Koumei on IDX

AI Data Platform consolidates knowledge, technology, and know-how dispersed within a company, reconstructs them as organizational intelligence, and serves as a foundation for future invention and intellectual property creation.

Knowledge Recovery

Recovering 100 years of knowledge

Integrates and manages items such as:

・Drawings

・Documents

・Contracts

・Technical documents

・Photographs

・Videos

・CAD

・BIM

・Meeting minutes

Organization Intelligence

Organizational intelligence formation

AI Koumei on IDX learns the entire company's knowledge and forms corporate intelligence that can be utilized across departments.

Future Innovation

Creating the future

Conducts cross-sectional analysis of technology, successes, failures, and know-how from the past 100 years to discover new technology themes and market opportunities that humans may not have noticed.

Intellectual Property Creation

IP creation

Tokkyo.AI converts a company's technological assets into new inventions, leading to patents, licenses, and IP revenue.

Towards Companies Building the Next 100 Years

In the industrial era, strong companies were those with factories.

In the IT era, strong companies were those with systems.

And in the AI era, strong companies will be those with knowledge that AI can learn from.

AI will create the future. However, the materials for creating the future lie in the company's past.

Transforming 100 years of accumulated knowledge and know-how into competitiveness for the next 100 years.

Through AI Data Platform, AI Data Inc. will awaken the dormant knowledge assets of Japan's 100-year-old companies and support the new growth of Japanese businesses.
