◼️ Overview of the White Paper "Case of WORLD vol.2"
This case study was produced as a sequel to "Case of WORLD," released in May 2025. While the previous issue introduced utilization mainly in creative fields such as streamlining EC product descriptions and generating staff snap images, this issue features in-depth interviews with three different departments: WORLD's Corporate Communications Office, Business Management Office Finance and Accounting Department, and Corporate Strategy Office AI Initiative. It details how "Maison AI" is transforming operations and generating results in each area of IR/Public Relations, Financial Management, and AI Strategy Promotion, along with comments from the personnel in charge.
◼️ Practical Cases from 3 Departments: "Reproducibility" of AI Utilization Demonstrated in Different Business Areas
[Corporate Communications Office: Innovation in Translation and Improvement of Corporate Value]
The Corporate Communications Office, responsible for communication with investors, media, and employees as a listed company, introduced "Maison AI" for the English translation of financial results presentation materials. This shortened the work, which previously took two weeks (including external outsourcing), to five days. They built an AI agent specialized in IR translation, "IR Translation Expert," trained it on the previous fiscal year's financial results, and reproduced WORLD's unique expressions and tone. Furthermore, they developed a "WORLD Co., IR Document Specialization Glossary Generator."
[Business Management Office Finance and Accounting Department: Resolving Siloed Operations and Developing Chatbots]
The Management Accounting Section, which faced challenges with siloed operations due to handling over 530 inquiries annually, developed three AI agents for "Store Expenses/Labor Costs," "Gross Profit/Inventory Planning," and "Headquarters Expenses/Labor Costs" using "Maison AI." They digitized past inquiries and linked them to manuals, completing the development in five months. An employee with no prior AI experience led the initiative, and the team's AI utilization hurdle was lowered through data refinement. This created a mechanism for sharing operational know-how among members.
[Corporate Strategy Office AI Initiative: Leading the Transformation to an "AI-Native Company"]
The Corporate Strategy Office AI Initiative, a specialized organization established in September 2025 to manage AI strategy for the entire WORLD Group. Chie Kamijo (Office Director), from the fashion industry, and Jun Hasegawa (Deputy Director), an IT specialist, are driving this initiative from both AI utilization and development perspectives. They are achieving company-wide deepening of AI utilization through training design by job role and position, systemization of on-site ideas, and rapid response to new technologies. From an environment where over 2,000 headquarters staff use "Maison AI," the next goal is to reach a state where "everyone can naturally use AI."
◼️ Future Outlook
AuthenticAI Inc. will continue to support corporate AI utilization "broadly" and "deeply" through Maison AI. The initiatives by WORLD Co. introduced in this case study are a concrete step towards realizing "a society where everyone can naturally use generative AI." We will accelerate the creation of new value born from human-AI co-creation and pioneer the frontier of AI agent technology.
