[Background: Growing AI Adoption in Corporate Training]

In recent years, the spread of generative AI has started to drive AI adoption in corporate training environments.

In particular, new and junior employees are increasingly using AI in daily tasks such as:

・ writing documents, ・ gathering information, ・ planning initiatives, ・ marketing analysis, ・ meeting minutes creation, ・ creating operational manuals.

However, challenges remain, including:

・ AI literacy training failing to keep pace, ・ lack of established usage guidelines, ・ heavy workload for training coordinators.

As a result, demand is rising for practical training programs that incorporate AI.

[BOTANICO's Insights]

The survey results indicate that companies increasingly view AI not merely as a tool for improving operational efficiency, but as a valuable resource for:

・ new employee education, ・ junior employee development, ・ accelerating on-the-job learning, ・ practical marketing training.

Especially in marketing roles, using AI is expected to enhance the speed of learning in areas such as information gathering, planning, and content creation.

However, skills such as judgment and communication cannot be developed by AI alone. Therefore, a training framework that combines "AI utilization" with "hands-on experience" is considered essential.
