WEAVE Inc. (Headquarters: Hiroshima, CEO: Naoki Kubo) conducted experiential training on generative AI for overseas expatriates in Singapore and Vietnam. The satisfaction rate was 4.89 out of 5, and 100% of survey respondents answered that they 'want to utilize it in business immediately.' This is a practical initiative addressing the issue of the 'AI utilization gap' with overseas bases as the use of generative AI progresses in Japanese companies.
### The Growing 'Temperature Gap in AI Utilization' at Overseas Bases
While the business utilization of generative AI is rapidly progressing in Japan, overseas bases are facing manifest challenges such as 'not knowing how to use AI in business,' 'lack of progress in internal utilization,' and 'inability to see the reality of AI usage in Japanese companies.'
In fact, while generative AI is attracting attention, the actual utilization rate on the ground remains low, with many companies in a state of 'knowing but being unable to use it.' Background factors include structural issues such as the 'inability to imagine using it in actual practice' and the 'psychological barrier of feeling unable to master it.'
